That Asian Thing's Interests
General
"That Asian Thing" is interested in Asian American rappers, singers, writers, painters, photographers, actors, directors, screenwriters, professors, comedians, musicians, teachers, student organizations, and all other forms of cultural influence that "mainstream" America latches onto....
I am an attempt to answer the question of "Why there isn't a bigger impact of Asian Americans in mainstream American culture?" I am a documentary film geared to unite the unheard voices of Asian American entertainers who have continued to try and break into a society where they are viewed as only one yellow being. I am a combination of artists who have been pushed away from getting that lead role, that music gig, or that particular job because "that Asian look" doesn't sell very well. I am a midwestern representative because Asian Americans shouldn't have to go to either ends of the American coastlines to find more of their own people. I am here to help Asian Americans know why it's important to speak up and say "I AM AN ASIAN AMERICAN AND I AM PROUD!"
"I am here to speak. Say the words. Her nearness has delivered me to this moment, an ever-lengthening moment between her breaths, that I might finally speak the words turning inward, for the first time, in my own beginning and lonely language: Do not be afraid. It is all right, so do not be afraid. You are not really alone. You may die, but you will have been heard. Keep speaking -- it is real. You have a voice."
--Chang-rae Lee, The Faintest Echo of our Language
Who I'd like to meet: -all people that appreciate talent where it's displayed. I'd also like to meet people of all races that feel that there shouldn't be a limitation of acceptance within the mainstream culture due to skin tone or eye shape. If the boy can sing - let him sing! If the girl can act - let her act! People were given talents for others to appreciate - let us be heard!

Hi guys. (Please feel free, to comment back -ideas or suggestions) Even though; I am only '1/2 Asian' (Indian), I Hope, to 'Unite Asians together', ALL of 'them'. For the sake, of my 'Ancestry'. 'Family' and 'blood -Relative's' or even 'Distant relative's'?? 're what 'Asians, 're often about'....
I Hope, to do this, in business and in 'Politics', by forming things like 'Business and Political NETWORKS' and 'Lobby -ist -groups'.
Please 'join or supt. me'.
