Sarah Gore marries Bill Lee, so what?

Harry Mok - July 17, 2007

But why does that matter? It really doesn't, unless you're really into Gore family trivia. Some reactions:

  • Our friend Angry Asian Man deemed it newsworthy and gave it a "whooooo [1]."
  • This post on Craig's List [2] offers a view of the nuptials using a word that rhymes with "ink."

    I think Angry Asian Man's elation may be due to the perception, real or imagined, that Asian American women hookup with other races, particularly white men, more often than Asian men. Driving this perception may be people with the mindset of someone who would use words such as those that rhyme with ink, and the perceptions -- real or imagined -- about Asian men and women.

    Whatever the reasons, in an ideal world, none of this would matter and this post would not exist. I debated whether to do this post, and in the back of my mind I feel a little like Angry Asian Man. Then I saw the Craig's List message, and I realized it matters to other people for very different reasons. I guess that's why I went ahead with the post.
