"Whereas Kimberlee was comfortable associating with Asian Americans in San Francisco, she suddenly finds herself reluctant to be seen with Naka and Charlie, the only Asian American boys at her new high school in Bakersfield. In a pivotal scene, the boys offer Kimberlee a ride home from school. Under the scrutiny of the Caucasian “in crowd,” Kimberlee hesitates long enough for Charlie to write her off as a sell out and zoom off without her. Kimberlee then embarks on a mission to prove herself to Charlie and Naka, developing into a delicate game of trust that could lead to friendship and even romance. This storyline mirrors a phenomenon in adult society. Mainstream media and mainstream culture welcome and celebrate Asian American women as beautiful and exotic. But doors that are open for Asian American women are often closed to Asian American men, who are perhaps too closely associated with the wars of the 20th century and “the axis of evil.” This leaves Asian American women in a quandary. Should they insist that doors of opportunity be held open for their Asian American brothers and risk having it closed on themselves? In My Life Disoriented, Kimberlee is offered the ideal doorway to acceptance and popularity at her new school. But, if she is observed hanging out with Char-lie and Naka, will she be branded as “one of them” and lose her fragile status as “one of us?”
