Hyphen Lynks: The Hot Doctor Edition
Here's a hot doctor.
Now, the lynks:
- Q: Is it true that you can get killed singing "My Way" in Filipino karaoke bar [1]? (A: Not if you're Manny Pacquiao.)
- Fil Am and Chi Am lady boxers fighting each other [3]!
- Memories of Obama's childhood in Indonesia [3], aroused by his trip there, and the general need for human interest stories.
- Speaking of Obama, he seems to have agreed to let India access David Headley for questioning [4], but it's not clear whether this will really happen or not.
- Also on Obamawatch: since Chinese foreign students at American Universities have more than doubled in the past seven years [5], Obama has decided to send 100K American students to China in the next four years [6]. Isn't this just keeping up with the Zhous? (heh, see what I did there?)
- Another Indian American scientist is ... doing something important [7]. But what else is new? Oh look! Another one has won something [8].
- Roxana Saberi on the radio, talking about her new book about her 100 days in an Iranian prison [9].
- Ugh! It looks like Asian American Catholics are not immune to being molester priests, or molested parishioners [10]. There's a Chester-the-Molester Father Nguyen in Memphis, who spread his bounty within his own community. Shame!
- 50 percent of candidates in an Arcadia city council election are Asian American [11]. Woo hoo!
- Speaking of elections, here's more on the weird-nanigans in Hawaii [12], where the Dems are, perhaps inadvertently, trying to kill the career of one of their own, an accomplished and ground-breaking Asian American woman. The Asian American Action Fund has warned Dem leadership to keep out [13] of this three-way race between an As Am Repub, a white male Dem and an As Am woman Dem.
- Al Franken knows his demographics: he's prioritizing watching out for forcibly repatriated Hmong in Laos [15].
- Hello, Bizarro! A Korean American former gang member is being extradited back to the States to face murder charges [16]. It seems that he was hiding out in South Korea, posing as an ... wait for it ... English teacher at a for-profit school. This scandal is linked to another one involving other Korean American English teachers [16], all of whom got their credentials fraudulently, off the web. Apparently, the other teachers were using drugs, and possibly selling them. Who knew that for-profit schooling could be so unsavory?
- Koream hapa New Jersey seventh grader Kevin O'Leary is heading off to be a student ambassador at the site of his ethnic roots [18] ... in the UK. (That's right, baby, I said hapa.)
- The ugly side of ethnic pride [19]: Latinos, Koreans, and Bangladeshis still fighting over Koreatown [20].
- Ew. The L.A. Times has picked up on [21] the Manohara kidnapping and rape story [22]. You know whose team I'm on.
- An Indian American has been accused of selling state sekrits [23]. Nice change from all the Chinese spies. Of course, he supposedly sold them to China.
- Filipina nurses worried about getting jobs in a post-healthcare-reform U.S. [24]? What's wrong with this picture?
- Wow. Some reporter or other really, really wants to sleep with Daniel Henney [26]. But can you blame her? She's Azn ... and he's 1) hapa, 2) playing a doctor, and 3) on TV. Trifectalicious!
