By the powers of the internet, an article I wrote 5 years ago for the Avatar, a one-hit-wonder magazine from Wesleyan, has made it into Model Minority, a discussion forum for Asian Americans and empowerment. Since it was posted, it has been read by hundreds. While I am delighted that the article, about stereotypical portrayal of Chinese Villains in the media, has recieved a few chuckle, one of the forum-goers lambasted me for being insenstive to the realistic violence that Hong Kong gangs (aka triads) put on citizens. I want to respond that this is the first time that article was taken seriously, and that it is kind of unfair that I am critiqued without being known. The poster ends with an ad hominum attacks: "mr yee is the kind of guy who really wishes he was [sic] the star of ......shakespeare in love....running around in tights some where [sic] in europe." What is that suppose to mean? If being a witty, literate, world-travelling jogger is wrong, I don't want to be right.
On the plus side, this forum does report on a lot of current on-goings that are insensitive and sometimes racist against Asian/Asian-Americans. This will give me plenty reason to be incensed for future references. William Hung: Gay or Asian?
