Being told often that you are a member of a minority group in America can have an effect over time, something of a grinding-down of the soul.
Cathy Park Hong calls those "minor feelings," something she's experienced a lot growing up as an Asian American.

Cathy Park Hong joined us in 2020, and we revisit the interview here.
