Setbacks for Asian Americans in my lifetime

Sulu - the age of Star Trek was supposed to be egalitarian, but the Asian officer got the shaft.

Long Duk Dong - Gedde Watanabe, of Sixteen Candles fame, haunts Asian American guys to this day.

William Hung - People laugh at him, not with him.

Yan Can Cook - Yellowface lives!

James Iha - Can a rock star be any wimpier?

Tiger Woods - What has Tiger done for Asians? NOTHING

Shih-Tzus - These dogs are not cool in any way.

Hideki Irabu - The (damn) Yankee bust, almost turned the tide created by Hideo Nomo and other Japanese imports.
