Expression
So, Asians are accused of being indirect... Here I try (with possibly very poor results) to break that stereotype for the glory of God and the edification of the Body of Christ. (Note: this reflects not only my experiences as an Asian-American but the rest of my life as well; they are inseparable.)

thoughts on suburbia from 09.24.05
My parents and I went to Chinatown (Oakland) today to pick up my grandparents after a bus tour. We went do dinner with them, and as we were walking back to the car, I was struck by how self-contained Chinatown really is. I've definitely thought about it before, but today I realized once again that a person really can live in Chinatown and not know that there is a "rest of the world."
Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what to make of my current situation, so with that in the back of my mind, I started thinking about suburbia... And it seems that while white suburbia is for the "exalted" middle class representative American, colored suburbia is for the misfit who hasn't quite made it in this country but thinks money can cover over identity crises.
