Asian Americans Not Ready for Prime Time

If you think you've read a blog entry like this before, it's probably because you have. It's time for a yearly report from some group or another saying there are aren't that many Asian Americans on TV. The latest one is from the Asian American Justice Center and it says that Asian Pacific American regular characters on network prime time television have not significantly increased over the last two years, since the group's last report.

Asking Where I'm From And Other Things That Annoy the Hell Out of Me

As an Asian American, there are certain conversation openers that make me bristle. Among them are "Where are you from?" and "Where did you learn to speak English?"

Anti-stereotypes as a Brand Identity

While they're unlikely to make me go out and buy a German car anytime soon (I'm Chinese- I buy Japanese cars), Volkswagen's ad folks certainly keep coming up with entertaining commercials. In a few of their most recent cajolings, they put novel twists on racial profiling by turning the stereotypes on their own car owners.

Pacific Time Host Moving to Vietnam

Nguyen Qui Duc, host of KQED's Pacific Time radio show is leaving. September 14th will be his last broadcast. He is moving back to Vietnam where he will continue to report on stories. Here's a story by Vanessa Hua in the SF Chronicle: Good morning, Vietnam -- decades after he fled, a radio host is going home. Duc is also an advisor to Hyphen and has mentored many Asian American journalists. We're sad to see him leave the Bay Area, but excited for him. Good luck and thank you, Duc!
