Yet if we think about taking the idea of racial ambiguity to its furthest extremes, if race is not just limited to what you “look” like—if you can be Asian American without Asian American family (as transracial adoptees would seem to prove), if one’s racial identity is as much about culture and community as anything else, then it would seem that there are clear markers of Asian American racialization that correspond to Obama’s life narrative.
You either need a centralized, walkable location (as this one had, around Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village in Chicago) or a solid method of transportation that the crawlers are not in charge of piloting. If you’re super-fancy and annoying, this means renting a bus or limo or trolley. If you’re a normal person, it means basing your bar crawl around public transit. The bonus of the public transit option is that you get to research new bars that you’ve never been to around the stops that you don’t frequent. The downside is that you’ll act obnoxious in front of normal people just going about their days. Be cool. Don’t yell. Don’t vomit. You’re in public, doofus. Act civilized.
