As an African American I experience the sterotypes associated with being Black so I understand the dilemma. When I first subscribed to your blog I could see that you are Asian but living in New York City I see and interact with Asians on a daily basis. I go to my Japanese friends Buddhist temple to meditate and listen to the sermons more than my own Christian Church.
I am still extremely upset by the horrible way United Airlines treated the Chinese doctor. The video of Dr. Dao being abused was disturbing on so many levels. Supposedly the airline used an algorithm that arbitrary selected the Chinese doctor but personally I think he was chosen do to his race. Lately I feel that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr dream is getting further and further away.
