I struggle with this all the time in my volunteer activities. Four of us run a European sword fighting group. Needless to say, you don't see many women in my position (even though a woman won long sword in the world tournament!) and I am what you expect, a rather dominant personality. It is so clear in the way they

yep, or he could be adopted. I'm Asian but was adopted by white Australians and have an Anglo name. It's always a special moment when someone has seen or heard my name before meeting me in person and when they do there's that split second of O SHIT YOU'RE NOT WHITE I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS.

In this day and age, many many people's names don't "match" their apparent dominant ethnicity. That part actually seems quite realistic to me.

I'll take a contrarian—though not just for spite—view here when I say this actually looks like it has potential. Its sexist views and stereotypical portrayal of the POC secretary do make it cringe worthy, but let's assume they don't form the backbone of the show's conceit. This may be asking a lot, especially because

Apple chips sure are delicious, no?

Amazing. I'd invite any of the people complaining about Asian airline food to take a ride in coach on any given airline based in the US. If you're lucky, the surly "flight attendant" won't spill your half glass of ice water on you, and if you're REALLY lucky, you'll get a very small bag of pretzels. If you're

They could call the restaurant Push.

Maybe instead they should have a bunch of Ladies having babies. Just a constant stream of women in labor. "Ladies love babies! Enjoy the miracle of human birth while dining on our seared tuna and caviar!"

What an negative overgeneralization of an already marginalized group. You probably didn't mean for it to come out that way but it did.

So a guy who puts octopi in vaginas, a guy who plays gangster rap in his restaurants, and a guy giving douchie pickup advice equates to all Asian men being angry?

wow, to generalize from 3 specific individuals to an entire race. as a not-very-angry asian man, that seems like the kind of attitude that gets some owners banned from NBA games or other celebrity chefs losing many of their endorsements.

That last sentence to your intro though... As an Asian American man working as a professional cook, I think I have a few unique insights into Eddie Huang's situation. What few people who haven't worked in the food & beverage realize is that the entire dining industry is rife with this kind of backward prejudiced

You're getting out an awfully broad brush there working from a very small number of men.

As a Black man I find any article painting a whole segment as some bad or angry group troubling. Are some Asian men angry? Yes. Are some women angry? Yes. It's never right to stereotype.

I pretty much agree with what saydontsprayit and snbatman have to say. I think the title of this article is ridiculous and irresponsible (read click bait). I'm sure that these men and other men (Asian or not) have some sick and perverted view on women which may or may not be the result of social constructs they are

Asian male here. Those guys just don't have game, that's why they subvert to shitty personalities.

There's no excuse for misogyny at all, but Asian men are really poorly represented in American pop culture. I'm a POC, and while the portrayals of black and hispanic men are limited and often demeaning or cliched, they are still much more visible and varied than those of Asian men. They are not only emasculated, they

Why does Choe's actions have to be somehow reflective of Asian Men?

My Chinese teacher in high school used to lecture to the girls in class to not date Chinese men because of how they treat women. I am now actually dating a guy from China and I've never been in such a healthy partnership as I am now. I think this article was too much about stereotyping. Like any group of people- there
