Along the corridors of National Chengchi University, young Taiwanese with Southeast Asian mothers are choosing to formally study the languages they half-inherited at home — not merely to speak more fluently, but to understand the histories and cultures that shaped the people who raised them. Their presence in classrooms once dismissed with ethnic slurs is part of a broader, unhurried transformation in how Taiwan reckons with its own diversity. What was once a source of quiet shame for immigrant families is becoming, generation by generation, a source of declared pride.
