Almond Eyes & More

Melissa Hung - September 14, 2006
  • This story about longevity [1] says race, income and where you live contributes to how long you live. Asian American women living in Bergen County, N.J., lead the nation in longevity, typically reaching their 91st birthdays. Go, old Asian ladies, go!
  • Adrian Tomine, the comic book artist, continues to get attention in the press. Here's the latest, an interview in the Nichei Bei Times. [2] I was hoping this story was out because the third installment of his latest story (about the dating adventures of one Ben Tanaka) had been published. Alas, not the case.
  • And a reminder: tonight I'll be pontificating on Asian Americans and stereotypes at this panel discussion at the Asia Society. [3] With me on the panel is the one and only Angry Asian Man. [4]
