Hyphen Lynx: Sriracha Sauce Origins, Asian Americans Hit Silicon Valley Glass Ceiling

In other news around the World Wide Web:

Actor Alec Baldwin, after being threatened by a senator in the Philippines, apologizes for making a joke about mail-order brides.

From the confusing file: Two candidates with the last name Chu face each other in a runoff for the Southern California Congressional seat that includes Sriracha's headquarters. Judy Chu or Betty Chu will be Southern California's only Asian American rep. The district is heavily Democratic, giving Judy the edge.

And finally, this is just too funny: Asian Helper.

Bit megaloasiatic aren't we? Corporate top execs invariably tend to derive from a more global pool of candidates than employeess out on the floor, not from just down the block. Heck they tend to have a collection of houses scattered about the land to mark their previous positions. Anybody who knows anything is already aware of this.
