Emil Amok: My ‘American Moment’ in Asia, Part IIIOnce again, it’s your “knife journalist” checking in. It’s a name that tends to stick. Especially if you throw it around just right. For you Juan and Juanita-come-latelys, I was given the sobriquet by a Brit-inspired tab in Hong Kong, the I-Mail, after I had asked the question whether the Hong Kong police had been a bit too overanxious when eight of them took 45 minutes to figure out my 1-inch knife was no threat to international security. Arrest me for bad syntax, but please, not for my knife! I had my key-chain special on me because I had wisely cut a few mangoes that morning for breakfast in my hotel. |

Also In Opinion
Recently, several readers have commented that our staff is out of touch with what’s really happening among Asian Americans. One even went so far as to accuse us of being “on the fringes of society.” Pearl Harbor stands as one example. While we and several API civil rights organizations have been wary of the $140 million blockbuster, go to any theater showing the film, and you’re likely to see APIs queued up, just like any other Americans.
