Ai Ya! I was out of town getting some "me" time last weekend and failed to post a Hyphen Lynks! Bad Asian! Me So Solly!

You know who else is sorry this week? (Here's a hint: not a lot of Americans! I did a search for photos of people doing "apology" or "I'm sorry" things ... and couldn't find any. ON THE INTERNET!)

• Continuing efforts to cast Bobby Jindal as the Obama of the Right [1]. Brown don't make down, oh Asian One! G.O.P. So Solly!

• The first Chi Am drafted to the NFL got injured during training [2]. Our race's hopes and dreams limped off the field with him. Unfilial! Wang So Solly!

• Here's a shocker: Indian American wins spelling bee [3]. Media So Solly! for the non-news.

• Another shocker: Fil Am vets are suing the VA for noncompensation [4]. As in, not paying them their (poor) compensation awarded last year. But then, we've learned to expect only the best from the Veterans Administration. VA So Solly!

• A Chi Am man's passport application was rejected [5] because the photo was "too yellow." ... wow. Jokes fail me. See photo above. State Department So Solly!

• Study focuses on Chinese American eye-health [6]. Apparently, Chinese have unique eye issues. And macular dengeneration, the article tells us, is linked to obesity. Obesity So Solly!

• Recently racial-epitheted Repub candidate for gov Nikki Haley has been accused twice of extramarital affairs [7], which accusations have only increased her popularity. Nikki Haley NOT Solly!

• Facebook fans want Aziz Ansari and Anand Bhatt to do some sort of face-off [8] on "Whose more Indian?" (sic.) Of course, Hyphen Lynks is totally behind this kind of cultural essentializing and racial authenticity olympics ... NOT! Facebook "fans" So Solly!

• An Iranian American is charged with a hate crime [9] in an unprovoked attack against Latinos. Wow. He So Solly!
