Asians

With the election of Obama, Blacks seem to be having a good year.
But what about the "Model Minority"?
What about the "Invisible Minority"?

All anyone seemed to be able to say about Asians was that they tend to do well in school, own all of the nail/beauty supply shops in the 'hood and make money running the corner store.
Anyone familiar with hip-hop dancing knows of the Jabawakees from MTV's dance competition show America's Best Dance Crew. This group from Cali' showed much of America what those in the elite of hip-hop dance competitions already knew - Asians can dance!

The Seattle Mariners just named Don Wakamatsu as the first Asian manager in MLB history.

Washington D.C. Superintendent Michelle Rhee just might be the answer to an antiquated D.C. school system. Barack Obama mentioned her in one of the debates, pointing out her ability to lead.

Bobby Jindahl (Is India still considered part of Asia?) is Governor of Louisiana while Anh "Joseph" Cao is pushing for power in NOLA.

Most would expect Koreans to do well in women's golf, at least lately. Si Ri Pak is still my favorite female golfer (She was so cute when she won the US Open those many years ago - and those quads!).

But what about others of Asian descent. Tiger Woods, Kimora Lee Simmons, Yao Ming, ... . No one would have previously expected an Asian to dominate golf, become a hip-hop mogul or be a center in the NBA.

Has anyone seen "Old Boy'? this movie is the ish! Now Will Smith is in on again/off again talks to remake this disturbing (but good) film. Asian drama/horror seems to be an endless source for Hollywood to copy.

China hosted the Olympics. BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) is planning on how to kick our azz.

So...Blacks have had a good year. Asians seem to be having a great one.
