This is such a fascinating sentence (partly because it resonated powerfully when I read it): "Like many of the Asian American kids of my generation stuck somewhere between white and black, I filled the vacant parts of my identity with basketball and hip-hop."
Other things that hit me in this article: silence (of a community) and the assertion that the "model minority" moniker has expired. It has?!
( Mini Manga Review: The Secret Stairs )
( Utena on my brain. )
( Slowly getting through Avatar: The Last Airbender. )
( Have an Adele remix. Just no more 'Somebody Like You' please, radio. PLEASE. )
( Interview with Agness Kaku, translator/localizer of Metal Gear Solid 2 )
( The crazy fanfic fandom poll I'd like to do but I'm not sure I can do. )
( If you're in the San Diego area. )
