bich minh nguyen's stealing buddha's dinner

NPR's All Things Considered did a story on author Bich Minh Nguyen and her first book Stealing Buddha's Dinner, a memoir about her family's journey from Vietnam to America, and "a young Asian girl's struggle for acceptance growing up in 'a sea of blonde'": From Pho to Fast Food, an Immigrant's Tale. It includes an excerpt from the book. Oh, how cruel mean American schoolkids can be to a girl named "Bich."
