No problem, that's what this subreddit is about! If you're interested in reading more about how Asians fit in race relations in America in the context of other racial groups, I'd recommend Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White by Frank Wu. I admittedly just started reading it a few days ago, but I've never had a book speak to me more. The first chapter instantly connected with my experience.

this book has a captivating tone but wasn't able to finish it yet

and this book provides perspective in dealing with and understanding foreign culture in a medical setting

As a community reddit prides itself on scientific and academic thoroughness. One wouldn't dream to make claims about the nature of physics or biology without study. Similarly, there are whole fields of study dedicated to examining society and how it functions. One book which I find quite good at explaining some good basics of racism, especially regarding Asians in relation to black and white racism, is "Yellow" by Frank Wu. http://www.amazon.com/Yellow-America-Beyond-Black-White/dp/046500640X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334034500&sr=8-1 It's also now available at $0.01, so with shipping and handling you can have this book for about $5.

There are other resources available, but this one in particular I recommend highly. It is easy to read and extremely well-reasoned, being writted by a lawyer who studied at Johns Hopkins, Univ of Michigan Law and Harvard Grad, and has since taught or administered at Univ of Cali, Hastings College, and Howard Law School.
