Asian Al Sharpton

September 17th, 2009

I was asked recently why there isn’t an Asian Al Sharpton. I said “sure there is. Guy Aoki, John Liu, Asian Americans For Equality…” and on and on. But I understood what he was saying. There isn’t one iconic rabble-rouser whenever things go down chez nous. Then I got to thinking: is the problem actually that MSM doesn’t take our problems seriously?

Just thinking out loud.

And by the way, New York is about to have four Asian-American elected officials (once John Liu wins his runoff election for Comptroller… which we all know he will). He’ll be the first elected Asian in a city-wide role.
