Asianave.com is part of a number of other people of color websites located on the same server. Blackplanet.com is one of these. Worst of all it seems to be moderated by some mix of past aa mods but mostly white people hidden behind anime profile pictures. Which is why the general feel is not as openly inviting to the general aa public. Imho Its funny because Mr Obama went to grad school at occidental so he probably was up at the club.

Not because I support Obama as President, but because I used to have an Asian Avenue account in high school and wanted to see how the site may or may not have evolved in 10 years.

(I suppose now I have to think up a new alias…) I debated whether to post a profile photo of my cat or me, and went with an overexposed photo of me where you can’t see my face.

I don't know if they give you a way to cancel your account, but I suppose you could remove your pic and just not log on to AsianAve anymore. But if you do that, you won't be able to add Barack as a buddy too! ;-) Haha!
