3/12/12

1.Kang argues that immigrants not only broke records in sports but they broke social barriers, and broke down social barriers. And is it's used to deal with racial and social tensions.
2. Kang assumes in his essay that all of his readers would understand at least the basic baseball lingo, because that baseball is such the iconic American sport. Kang also argues in his essay that being a true American meant growing up a baseball fan, and living breathing and eating baseball. He stereotypes baseball hats and baseball knowledge as an American thing.
