Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore the forces and processes that underlie the construction of racial minorities¡¯ cultural identity in western society. An ethnographic research was conducted to identify the ways in which 1.5 generation Korean immigrants in Greater Vancouver talk about whites, ethnic Chinese and Korean themselves. 1.5 generation immigrants refer to a half and half generation who immigrated to the host country when they were relatively young. The key argument is that non-white cultural identities are always constructed and negotiated within white racist representations. Non-whites are constantly given their identities by the dominant western discourse of race while they actively appropriate and negotiate the meanings of imposed identities. I discuss young Korean immigrants¡¯ struggles with contending identities in relation to the presence of four types of subjectivities constructed in white-privileged society of Canada: 1) an internalized white superiority, 2) a racial stigma, 3) a pan-Asian identity and 4) ethnocentrism.
