Expression
So, Asians are accused of being indirect... Here I try (with possibly very poor results) to break that stereotype for the glory of God and the edification of the Body of Christ. (Note: this reflects not only my experiences as an Asian-American but the rest of my life as well; they are inseparable.)

Christian heritage and the West
I was looking at the web site of an organization that sends missionaries to Europe, and I came across this line:
Although our Christian heritage began there, Europe continues to drift further away from those roots.
I really don't know what to make of that. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, my guess would be that they referring to a certain denomination that originated in Europe, but I don't really know because I didn't see any affiliation with a particular denomination. I trace my "Christian heritage" back to Jesus, who lived in the Middle East. I grew up believing in a Jesus that looked White, though, and sometimes, I think I still see Him that way... I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I feel like this should bother me more than it does.
