Not Asian Enough reveals the life of Alexandra Lai, where she used to live in Hong Kong, then in Taiwan. However, no matter where she lives or visits, she is bound to get either misidentified, or offended due to her race. This book also explores the harmful topic of Asian Hate due to the pandemic.

Her first encounter was when she moved to Taiwan. Since she has an American accent when speaking English, people often treat her like an American despite the fact that she lives there.

A second encounter would be when she traveled to Okinawa for a swimming competition with her school. The Caucasian students there, although in an Asian country, mocked her by making racially insensitive gestures.

Even in the United States, she could not escape the controversial opinions about her, where teenagers at her age made jokes regarding where she had came from.
