I am a female teen of African descent(living in South America) and I stumbled across your blog through google. I am still in school but I am planning on getting a PhD in Psychology. Anyway, I became interested in African and Asian cultures a few years back and general stereotypes associated with each ethnic group.
All I wanted to do was to leave a comment commending you on your work. I did not know that (as us Africans do) Asians too get discriminated against to such a degree. I learned lots from your blog! I recently found out about Danny Chen and Vincent Chin! You have enlightened a young mind!
I hope you continue the good work! Just know that there are other ethnic groups that see the discrimination against Asians are behind you!

Love your work! I am a doctoral student in Texas and I study the absence of Asian Pacific Islanders from American History curriculum. Your list of Asian American films is fantastic!
