Lately, I’ve come to hate old people. I’d like to kick the habit, but they make it so hard for me.

Actually, a while back, an older white lady did just that and panicked when she saw several Muslims sitting together. The FBI was pretty annoyed when they realized she had no basis for her belief.

We need more films that make fun of the terror scare. Old hags may not react to you like that in real life, but an airline wanted a guy to change his shirt because it had Arabic script on it.

I’m stoked.

The funny thing is I have a friend who looks and acts almost EXACTLY like Kumar, except he’s not Indian… he’s just a really tan Chinese guy.

Aw, man, 2008? That’s a long time to wait! (Yes, I’m impatient.) So looking forward to this.

Yeah, I think you capture it perfectly. If the film is all intellectualized empty Asian American experience cliches, that’s a kind of stereotyping too. On the flipside, if it’s just Asian American folks being “normal” and society treating them great, that’s not really realistic.

When media and filmmakers hit that middle ground where we are portrayed as normal folks just trying to get by, not directly worrying about race, joking about it some, and then suddenly, *wham* it blindsides them.

OMG, I cannot wait. The trailer looks so genius. And what’s even better is that John Cho and Kal Penn are the protagonists, and Doogie Howser is their sidekick.
