Today at lunch we were talking about how my friend is going to dye her hair this
summer.  She said she was going to dye it brown and this led to everyone asking
what kind of brown.  I finally said “The color like brown hair in Asian
dramas?” She said “exactly.” No one else understood.

Whenever I go to the Philipines, I gain at least 10 pounds. Why, you may ask?
After every meal, my lola will ask me, “You want more?” I say,
“No, I’m full, thanks though.”
I get another plateful of rice and fish…

On the side where they have all the Facebook fans, I realized that all of them
were Asian and I knew them.

I asked my mom, who is from China, if she had been in any clubs when she was in
school. She responded: “I was in Propaganda Club. Does that count?”

MLIAsian is built on laughing at ourselves and our Asian moments, but more than that, we exist within a community established by amazing Asians who have explored and transcended the boundaries of identity, culture, and race.

This one is from Evan:

My asian mom went into a store and picked out a pair of designer jeans.  They had holes in them like most expensive jeans.  She asked the store clerk if she could get a discount on them.  MLIAsian.

Today I went to the Nichi Bei Weekly fundraiser. An old Korean man dropped the f-bomb. Loud. Turns out he’s K.W. Lee, the very first 1st generation Asian American journalist. At 81 years old, the man’s a legend. But that doesn’t stop him from being an amazing angry Asian man.
