I wonder what is going on with this girl. She has been fooled into this simulacrum, and what she thought was real is not real at all.

Comment on Proof that Russell of Disney/Pixar’s Up is Asian: The Color Scripts by Joe

You guys make me laugh.

He’s just an Asian-American guy. He doesn’t belong to any Asian ancestry.. he’s just… Asian.

Yes, he is confirmed an Asian-American cartoon character.

If you want to know the background of Russell: The animators played around and drew a picture of one another. One animator drew a picture of another animator, Peter Sohn, A Korean-American. The guy who voiced Russell is Japanese American.

So in short:

Russell’s looks was based from Peter Sohn, the main animator, a KOREAN-AMERICAN
Russell’s voice was from Jordan Nagai, a JAPANESE-AMERICAN
RUSSELL, THE CHARACTER HIMSELF IS JUST AN ASIAN-AMERICAN.

If you don’t believe me, here’s a Korean newspaper interview of Peter Sohn:

Comment on Mending Broken Glass: Khmer Rouge History Now to be Taught in Cambodia by kbok

it may seem shocking to other people that kids don’t believe their elders when hearing about khmer rouge atrocities, but if your mother told you that soldiers shot at her, pushing her off a mountain and into landmine paths would you believe it?!

i didn’t believe it myself until i read about it in a book. sad, but true, and this is part of daily life of being a khmer-american.

btw, thx jude for your posts! i enjoy reading them.

Comment on Chinese Adoptees: Stolen or Abandoned? by Dan

CSLI,

I think my previous comment stated that I “hope” not “should”. It was not meant to belittle anyone and yes I can imagine just like most people, adopted or not. Though the effect will not be the same as those who are facing it, as it is with all family backgrounds, this I understand.
