asian americans have the highest number of college graduates of any ethnic group in america

median household income for asian americans are the highest in the us

asian americans are rising in corporate america faster than any other race

asian americans are the model minority

 

apahm needs to screen who they choose in terms of script and delivery and perspective.  obviously i didn't stay that long..however..hear me out.

ppl love to hear the sound of their own voice.  and asking a successful and influential model asked to speak unscripted about her life is going to ramble and drone on and on and on.  in the age of paper tigers. asian americans do not need to be inspired by talk of hard work, talk of discipline, talk of luck. asian americans need perspective on risk/reward.  perspective on hard work.  perspective on machismo.  perspective on breaking that bamboo ceiling.

i want to hear new ideas as to how maybe since asians are stocky and have better center of gravity (sumo), maybe they could teach stocky asian boys to become long snappers in the nfl because its one trait that through discipline and precision, they can take over that area of expertise in american athletics and dominate.  i like how koreans have stopped playing tennis where real genetic athleticism is a huge advantage and they've moved to golf where practice supersedes genetics.  i want to hear about how rather than being asian or american, we find a way to break into these niche demographics through our strengths, then solidifying the asian american genre.  maybe talk about corruption.  maybe the ends justifies the means?  maybe sell your soul?  who knows.  just give me perspective other than hard work and discipline.  that'd be much more influential....and inspiring.

so i left. and went to eat jogaetang. ALONE.
