Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to outline major historical events for new East Asian transnational im/migrants and challenge them to engage in critical (un)learning and racial love. Design/methodology/approach: This conceptual paper is written in the form of a love letter and draws excerpts from a study with a China--US transnational family in a three-year critical ethnographic study. Findings: This paper does not present "findings" in the traditional sense but poses actions and questions to think with readers about the future of intercultural solidarity. Originality/value: Through this love letter, the authors illuminate their conceptualization of the system of racial love, which consists of love for ancestors, allies, the Asian community and a collective liberatory racial future.
