"CHARLOTTE
SOMETIMES'" DIRECTOR (ERIC BYLER) STATED -
My
parents were the perfect parents for an artist. They nurtured my creativity,
and never tried to indoctrinate me with absolutes. When I asked about God,
for instance, my mother would begin with “some people believe.”

this new millennium, it is a bright color spectrum that encompasses all
colors and races. It has extended beyond the borders of America and gone
global.

I
FEEL THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC, including literature

CANTONESE OPERA
is a traditional art form that involves music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics and acting. Cantonese Opera plays tell stories about Chinese history, traditions, culture and philosophies.
AS A 4TH GENERATION
Chinese American who grew up in Hollywood as a child performer doing TV
sitcoms, movies, and a nightclub act in Las Vegas during the 1960s, I am
well aware of the gap between how Asian Americans view themselves, and how
non-Asians view us.
are more and more "into Asian girls" than ever before.
Some (mainly) white dudes are so enamored with Asian and Asian American
females that they have developed what is often termed an "Asian fetish."
MY
EFFORT
in the last few months to develop a network of resources and partners to
awaken and empower the Korean American churches in . . . . has been an exciting
adventure and a great learning experience.

SOMETHING TRULY STRANGE
is happening when a Mandarin language film opens
in Seattle in just two art house theaters, then breaks out to 5, and then
12 theaters in the suburban multiplexes in just 3 weeks.
NBC'S
RECENT MINISERIES "The Lost Empire" provides a touchstone for
looking at ways that anti-Asian sentiments are practiced. I say "sentiments"
because at this point I am somewhat reluctant to label the movie "racist,"
at least until a fuller definition of the term is operative.
ASIANS HAVE ATTRACTED LITTLE ATTENTION
because, unlike African Americans and Latinos, they tend to eschew vociferous
protest groups. SEVERAL
YEARS AGO
I was writing major in college with idealistic dreams of making it in
the entertainment business. . . I was discouraged, depressed
and frustrated that I received almost no support from the people I was
trying to unite and represent.
SEARCH
FOR "ASIAN EXOTIC MAIL ORDER BRIDES" in
excite.com, and one will come up with 195 hits. The mail-order bride business
has been booming of late with over 200 agencies estimated in the United
States. GREATEST
IMPACT that
Asian/Asian Pacific American heritage have on me, is the family morale
and the drive to work hard to be successful. I believe we stick to our
blood through thick and thin. WE
ALL LAMENT how much catch-up Asian American
church development has to do, so much of it barely or not even begun.
How do we even talk about the issues? KIANA
TOM STATED THAT HER ROLE MODELS ARE Goldie
Hawn. . . . I love her bubbly personality, the way she brightens every
room, she is like sunshine, she seems to have found the "balance" in
career and her personal family life. . . . . Marilyn Monroe: what a
feat to be so beautiful and to be attractive to men and women-not intimidating
to other women.
