NY Times Highlights Hmong American Rapper

It's so cool to see a subtle increase in stories about Asian Americans this month. This NY Times video on Minnesota Hmong American poet/rapper Tou Saiko Lee is pretty dope.

Last year, Masi Oka of "Heroes" received the award.

Tell me what you see when you read this:

DESI(RED)

Do you see the DESI or the RED first? (Is the cup half empty or half full? Is it a vase or a couple kissing?)
