- Asian American men are the fastest growing segment of plastic surgery users,
their numbers having risen 290 percent in the last decade. [Evidently,
they do it to "stay competitive," to which I must respond: You're the
highest paid demographic in the United States -- wtf are you competing
against?]
- Hate crimes committed against Asian American men are packaged and sold as comic relief by Paramount Pictures
[Seriously Ken Jeong...making fun of your tiny Asian genitalia in The
Hangover wasn't bad enough? One more stereotype-y film like these and
you'll be a full-fledged, Bai Ling-level disgrace to the race.]
- Miley Cyrus goes to court for doing the slant-eye and then, to add insult to injury, the judge hearing the case has to recuse himself for accidentally(?) using an Asian slur during the hearing [i.e. he referred to the people in the photo as "orientals" and "non-orientals"]
But
there is some good news for those who -- even in spite of the
above-mentioned bullshit -- decide to migrate to our star-spangled
shores in the hopes of joining our high-earning ranks: Thanks to
Vonage, we now have free international calling!
Oh,
and contrary to Ken Jeong's sell-out example and an emerging generation
of plastic people, there are still some (very hot) Asian men out there
who have managed to make it big time without going under the knife or
transforming themselves into a tired old steretype -- check out this Tribute to the Top 10 Asian Sportsmen Around Today. Whether you stay or go, these cosmopolitan, Asian-born athletes are just a little reminder of what's a-waitin' back home!
