Jeremy Lin’s Video Response To Stuyvesant High
So it looks like Jeremy Lin keeps his promises. Remember when he tweeted in response to the video that the kids at Stuyvesant High School made for him? In the video, the students had invited our beloved Jeremy to speak for their graduation, and this was his response: “Stuyvesant High! Awesome video…so honored to have been invited. I cant make it BUT im making a response video and will visit if possible!” Get ready to swoon. [h/t: [...] Continue »
Asians Bleach Hair As Scientists Reveal Benefits To Blonde Hair
Last week’s publication of a new report in the American Journal of Medicine outlining some of the health benefits to having blonde hair, created a rush in some pockets of Asian communities to get their hair dyed blonde. The report outlines a study where individuals with blonde and darker hair were studied over a course of 20 years. Those with blonde hair were more likely to live longer, have a better outlook on life, and [...] Continue »

Asian American Commercial Watch: Volkswagen
Volkswagen’s latest entertaining ad campaign is their “Sign Then Drive” event where you can get a Jetta, CC, or Tiguan for “practically just your signature.” I’ve actually test driven a Lexus with an Asian American car saleswoman before, so I was happy to see this commercial. [EDITORS NOTE: If this was an inappropriate blog, I would clearly make a crass comment about being grateful that the Asian women are selling the cars and not driving [...] Continue »
So when are we going to see an Asian American President on mainstream TV or in the movies?
One day a reality or just Photoshop? The New York Times just did a story about “Before Obama, There Was Bill Cosby,” which I found quite coincidental, since I was contemplating recently with all the Obama election victory coverage about his historic win about what brought us to this moment in time, and how I thought that there would be no President Elect Obama without The Cosby Show (also coined as The Huxtable Effect by [...] Continue »

I’m a big fan of The Onion, but I am even a bigger fan of their video segments, positioned as the Onion News Network (ONN). The latest video I’ve come across I thought was hilarious: China Launches First Willing Manned Mission Into Space Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Jap-Anne?
Okay, apologies in advance for the worst post title EVER. But I couldn’t resist. I have the corniest sense of humor. 2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the popular period novel, Anne of Green Gables, written by my personal heroine and Canadian author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. If you’ve never heard of this book, then you’re either male or a very confused female. Just kidding about confused. I really meant that you’ll never be my friend [...] Continue »
SECRET TO OVERWORKED ASIANS REVEALED!
This is BREAKING NEWS, people. We’ve heard all about how hard Asians work–sometimes to the death–but no one has bothered to figure out how we do it! Wait, how do we do it? Easy. TWINS. See, it works like this: you basically rope your identical twin into working the same exact job as you without telling anyone, share opposite hours and voila, the whole world thinks you’re a work-a-holic robot. It also helps if you [...] Continue »
Newsweek: Why Vietnam Loves McCain
Nurse who first treated McCain; Hanoi Hilton’s prison director. Source: Newsweek. This being an election year, I am on quite a few email lists and came across this one from the Silicon Valley Obama email list, an article on McCain. Newsweek interviewed the nurse who first took care of McCain when he crash landed in Vietnam as well as McCain’s prison director at the “Hanoi Hilton” (who totally denies that McCain was tortured – maybe [...] Continue »
