SWA

By researching terms related to Kang's essay, I found many different articles relating to the same concept as Asian Americans playing baseball in the major leagues. Many of these Japanese players were cheered for by other Asian Americans just because they were Asian, not because they were  particularly skilled. It showed that racism is very much alive in baseball because certain players are written off just because they are not Americans, before they have even had a chance to show what they are capable of doing. Some people have even said that Asian Americans are sometimes put on teams just to gather support for their team from other Asians. They know the Asian Americans will support other Asians, therefore supporting the team.
