Dear America,
I’m sending you a plea on behalf of all Asian Americans. I know you’re caught up in Linsanity just like we are. It’s a beautiful thing to watch you gaze with jaws dropped at the exploits of the first Asian American marquee player in NBA history. But we really need this to continue, so it’s very important that you let us help you learn how not to ruin...

His point about Private Danny Chen is sad and true. Had his suicide come post Linsanity, maybe justice would have been served.

GREAT article. but do ladies really think that highly of John Cho?…
John Cho is a GQMF.
“If you look at it historically, the dominant group has always favored the female of a minority, seeing them as assets, commodities or possessions,” says Ruth Chung, a USC professor who specializes in Asian American cultural identity.

It might not help that they have players returning that haven’t been in a game for a bit. In relationship to Jeremy Lin, they aren’t quite familiar with him in game too.
That’s what I was thinking too, but I also feel Jeremy has been off himself. Hasn’t been taking any shots when he could and...
