"Having so much Korean talent or people influenced by Korean media on the crew made it possible. Because we could say to one of our animators, 'Do you remember that one expression the girl makes in the K-drama "Weightlifting Fairy"? Can you find us 50 GIFs of other moments like that from other K-dramas?' And the next day, he’d be like, 'Here’s the full range of eye twitches and mouth shapes.'"

@bicmay #AAPI #DavidHwang

I saw an earlier broadcast of #Yellowface on #PBS &, like others of Hwang's plays, I didn't like it. 🤷‍♂️

But #FrancisJue won a @TonyAward last night for his performance in the play on #Broadway (beating out #DanielDayKim who was nominated in another category) but I don't know what role Jue played because I turned off the show before he made an appearance.

So, I'll record the show again on 6/30 to take an actual look at Jue's performance.

In 1871, the "good citizens" of LA also lynched 10 & killed a total of 18 Chinese -- over 10% of the Chinese population in LA at the time -- in what is now referred to as: The Chinese Massacre of 1871.

See: lapl.org/collections-resources

www.lapl.orgForgotten Los Angeles History: The Chinese Massacre of 1871May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, a month in which we celebrate the culture, traditions, accomplishments, and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. It is also an occasion to reflect on the turbulent history and hard won achievements of previous generations and to recognize that the Chinese community, like many ethnic communities in Los Angeles, survived and prospered despite discrimination, prejudice, and persecution."These ugly things in our past history ought to be known …They may not be pleasant to read about.

An interesting person & an interesting video interview . . .

"How does the daughter of a Mexican mother and a Chinese-American father develop a love for African American literature? By visiting Russia.

'There is no canon of me,” says Stephanie Li, Duke’s new research professor of African & African American Studies. “There is no Chinese-Mexican-American canon of literature to read.'

Instead, she started with Dostoevsky."

Not lost on me that as birthright citizenship is being challenged today, it was because of Wong Kim Ark that we have it at all.

It’s AANHPI month, which we are celebrating at work. I complain these terms are arbitrary (and they are) but also they think we are all the same anyway.

While I can’t do a ton about national legislation, I can do a lot in my community. As an East Asian person, making space for South, Southeast and other Asians and NH (Native Hawaiian) and PI (Pacific Islander) people is absolutely what I want to do. I’m helping to organize some activities at work that spotlight other cultures in our alphabet soup.

Also RIP Henry Fuhrmann, whose exhortation to drop the hyphen in Asian-American vastly expanded and included people who can consider themselves Asian American. Undocumented people. People who don’t yet have citizenship, or won’t, or can’t.

The town next to Monterey is doing a festival called Good Ol’ Days. I wonder if those good old days include the days when they burned down the Chinese villages to take over the fishing business; or the good old days when white people dressed up as Chinese people.. that only ended.. in 2022

Can you tell I don’t love this town at all haha
