  2. Nice Guys Finish Last

    By: Lisa Lee, Nov 30, 2007 0 Comments

    Anthony Bourdain, chef and host of The Travel Channel’s No Reservations, thinks San Francisco is crazy for thinking that nice guys make good chefs. “I was never about Casey!” Bourdain told me at Stacey’s Books on Nov. 19. “It was always all about Hung [Huynh, winner of season three] — from the start, it was […]

  6. The Good AIDS News

    By: Arthur Hu, Nov 30, 2007 0 Comments

    The good news is that UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, says there’s less AIDS in the world than they thought: 33 million infected worldwide compared to last year’s 40 million. The bad news is that critics were right to say that one can’t just extrapolate wildly high numbers on the basis of […]

  7. Supreme Court Must Strike Down Discriminatory Voter ID Law

    By: AsianWeek Staff, Nov 30, 2007 1 Comment

    Imagine going to vote and having poll workers ask you to present your naturalization certificate. They say it’s required under state law, but no other voters are required to show their certificates. This happened to one voter in Flushing, New York.
    It’s often because of voter ID checks that certain voters are racially profiled. Just like […]

    Hypocrisy by The Numbers
    I was taken aback by Dr. George Koo’s calling American criticism of Chinese human rights abuses “hypocrisy” (“Yahoo Takes Hit Meant for China,” Voices From the Community, Nov. 23).
    By any objective measure, China’s human rights record is much worse than America’s. Look at rankings of freedom of the press, a basic human […]

    Qs for Q
    Dear Q,
    I have all these questions about life, love, work, family — but every time I read advice columns, it is from a white person’s point of view, which just doesn’t help me at all. Sometimes, I can’t just talk to my parents about things because of the language barrier. Sometimes, I just […]

    Setting the Record Straight
    I notice this account of the Renato Hughes case omits the fact the homeowner’s son was beaten with a baseball bat during the robbery, causing brain damage (“Uncommon Injustice,” Rodel Rodis, Nov. 9). The son lives in a rehabilitation center and can no longer feed himself. Break into someone’s home at 4 […]

    It may be hard to believe, but there was once a time when Hollywood would routinely turn to non-Asian actors to portray Asian characters in films.
    Often, these “yellow face” performances both reinforced and embodied all the negative stereotypes — funny accent, slanted eyes, buck teeth, and enough “Orientalism” to send […]
