“38 at the Garden” is such an uplifting documentary about Jeremy Lin and what he means for the Asian American community. Especially this segment about how Lin centered himself to take the game-winning shot. I teared up when Hasan Minhaj said it meant “we have dignity.”

Raymond Lee tells Jimmy Fallon that his uncle called to say he was proud because he saw him (not in an ad or on TV) but…in the Korean newspaper 😂. #QuantumLeap

When Jen (aka #SheHulk) compliments Joshua (played by Trevor Salter) for having “a good face,” and he responds “I was wondering when you were gonna notice,” that was activism right there.

We need more Asians in Hollywood’s fantasy worlds. Looking forward to seeing Michelle Yeoh's sword-elf Scian jumps into action on 'The Witcher: Blood Origin.'

#NeverHaveIEver seen a TV show represent my predominantly Asian American high school til now. I wrote about how the popularity of #NeverHaveIEver (now on its 3rd season), a show about an overachieving Asian American girl nerd is my teenage dream come true.

No idea how I missed this, but there will be an @A24 drama series adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s novel ‘The Sympathizer,’ with Downey attached to co-star and Park Chan-wook as director. I love this synergy of Asian/Asian American talent
