Early response regarding this website has been… well, interesting.
what does living as an Asian-American mean, anyhow? I’m not being rhetorical or sarcastic (okay so i am a little), but just wondering what’s the point of becoming collective in this theme when also a theme in “Asian-America” is to dispel stereotypes. maybe i’m just miffed becaust the posts on 8 Asians aren’t particularly insightful yet, just people commenting and observing that there are people of Asian descent doing whatever they do, in the United States. big deal. tell me what it means to be of Asian descent, and living in the United States.
So, in my Barbara Walters-like role, I ask you: What does it mean to be of Asian decent, living in the United States?

Hmm. Interesting thoughts from mimio there. While I ponder out that question, I just wanted to point out that, ironically, she provides a link to LittleYellowDifferent.com.
And me likes irony. Heh.

I don’t think I can answer this because I don’t live in the States.

I was listening to a radio interview with Charlie Cho and Jessica Leung (I may have her name wrong) who are opening a play in Vancouver that deals with the topic of the gap between the media perception of Asian Canadians and their own perception of themselves.
