That Yin Yang guy isnt really asian

Um just in case you were wondering, just in case you were watching TLC late at night because "intervention" was preempted by some home makeoer show or you had already seen that episode of the Disc channel's freakshow (has anyone else noticed that Disc and TLC are turning into bona fide freakshows? My favorite so far is 'The Baby born with Two heads' and ' Face Eating Tumor' which by the way seems to have afflicted a family member of mine from Indonesia--some distant cousin from my clan who has a ginormous humungous huge fuckin tumor eating his face as promised in the title).. Anyways does anyone give a crap that the two hosts of the East meets West solves your problems show on TLC are white dudes. This one in the pic with me is the actual white one, not the one who is always there wearing yukatas and kimonos and marital arts headbands and any other asianny orientally (please insert weird tinkling chinky music here) exoticky accoutrements. My friend and uber comedienne Amy Anderson who shares my blessing slash curse slash oddity of being a visible minority with a whitey white name 9courtesy of her actual adoptive parents actually being white) anyhoo, she points out to me that she auditioned for the Asian part on the show which fell to aforementioned white guy in short kimono. I think Amy and I are gonna dress up as Aunt jemima and pitch a soul cooking show. I might put on a sombrero and do a landscaping show. Please read other blog for more detailed ranting, but seriously--you cant take the human being out of the culture you represent until the world is a lot more egalitarian and a lot more open to visible minorities especially in the media. There are no fricking asians on TV and now asians arent even allowed to do asian things on TV. is this that different from David Carradine taking Bruce Lee's role in Kung Fu? Or Mickey Rooney lisping and bowing through Breakfast at Tiffany's? Slap on the yellow paint and the buck teeth people--you might get a job hosting a show about acupuncture. Can a sista get an Amen? Or an Om shanti? Or an Ah-So?
