Ep. 16: Kunming-native American cowboy Bruce Wang speaks English with perfect Southern accent - a podcast by Richard Yan

Bruce Wang is a Chinese cowboy. Not an ethnically Chinese person that was born in Texas, but someone born and bred in Yunnan, China.

We talked about why he decided to become a cowboy, why he felt the cowboy culture reminded him of his hometown of Kunming, and how he dealt with an identity crisis.

We also talked about whether he has encountered acts of racism and racial ignorance, his plans to dedicate his Ph.D. to the intersection of languages and cross-cultural understanding, and more.
