Dear Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra,
I hear that Asians aren't allowed to play in your famed ensemble. I first learned this by listening to Jian Ghomeshi's guest on "Q," William Osborne -- an American composer based in Germany -- who has been advocating for greater...

Remember when you were a teenager hanging out in your friend's basement, and even though their parents may have been super cool, weren't you relieved when they finally went upstairs? Well, that's how we Asians feel when the last non-Asian person leaves the room. Once we have racial quorum, this...

I would die for my children. Just don't ask me to spend time with them. What they don't tell you about parenthood is how excruciatingly boring it can be to spend time with your own kids. And mine are funny! And cute!
I know they are because my wife...

Gangnam Style is one catchy-ass tune, the most infectiously, dancelicious song since C+C Music Factory's Everybody Dance Now. But unless you look like me, or live in South Korea, we Asians find white enthusiasm for this monster hit suspect.

Dear A-Cup Asian,
As a man who...

If a real friend is the person who tells you when you have bad breath, then what I'm about to tell you will make me your best friend; whenever you eat sushi, you are embarrassing yourself. That's right, the abominations you commit to your California Roll bring shame upon your...

So maybe I was in that hotel room, or maybe I wasn't. One thing is for certain, I'm NOT going to make the same mistake my bosom buddy, senior Chinese official, Wang "The Wanger" Minsheng did by claiming my image was photoshopped in. Why? Because HuffPost readers can tell when...

Admit it. You find Asians scary. Maybe not physically intimidating. At 5'8'' no one is going to mistake me for Yao Ming. But there are just so damn many of us. And I'm not talking about the 1.3 billion over there in China, but the shiny sea of plastic welding...
