After reading this story http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/58121… i really needed this. Needless to say I'm not surprised about where those people live. Extreme northern CA is a repository of isolated crazy people. Ok,I need to watch that video again...

However if you've ever eaten at a Chinese Buddhist temple then authenticity is a must! But for the other places, good luck! ;)

I can't access the paper, but I wonder if they accounted for race/culture/ethnicity of the study participants. The areas they surveyed have large Asian immigrant populations (Alhambra, last I checked is over 80% Chinese) who would care more for authenticity, because homesick and they come from areas where knowledge of…

Not sure if you'll see this, but my grandmother and most of my female relatives are waitresses and servers, or have been in the past. And i love this post! When i started having problems with my gallbladder my grandma basically told me that it's a polite conversation where we both have to work with each other. And if…

That's pretty much our standard. If I'm the palest person in the room, we're good to go! Also where I'm at we look for a "B" grade from the health inspector, because of how some Chinese cuisines prepare their food.

Um, you know that panda express isn't really Chinese food, right? My husband's parents are Chinese Buddhists who are vegetarian, so I've been schooled. The trick to getting authentic Chinese vegetarian cuisine is to eat at a restaurant connected to a temple. This works in the US, China and Taiwan. If you're on the…

I've seen this kind of thing handled well before. A good introduction to the book that addresses the issue along with a page before the first chapter reminding readers that this memoir is written from a problematic perspective and more resources in the endnotes for the readers that want to learn more. It's not that…

That looks like a nifty book, thanks for the link! I'm glad she changed it for the child, because attitudes towards indigenous people were not that kind back in the day. Unfortunately, we're still fighting to get our voices heard and for people to recognize that we're still here and working hard to maintain,…

The real question is does this biography address how they participated in the genocide of American Indians and perpetuated stereotypes of us too? http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2008/07/select…

You are aware that her treatment of Native Americans, is quite problematic right? I say this as someone who is NA and who is doing research in NA education. Here's my go to resources on this issue: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2006/09/little…

At least they didn't go full Nazi? http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/arti…

This pair six months later...

I know this is old but according to the English Thai newspaper this ducks were simply being taken to a new place to eat... and the driver is late to work, cuz ducks :) http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/415…

Wow the comments in this post are dominated by white fashion. In a lot of these era's minorities were wearing very different clothes, even in the nineties!

In the nineties I remember my black friends dressed differently than my white and Asian friends. Also club wear was very student than day wear. So what you think of as nineties fashion really changed depending upon where you lived and what you were into. :)

I'm actually quite sick right now, please read my earlier responses...

You rock, and don't get me wrong, I totally support breastfeeding,I just get frustrated with the debate from time to time...

Alright, you're right I'm a terrible person. You win...

*please read my response to CA if he hasn't already dismissed this thread for me* Not in the head space for this and never should've commented.

Please go ahead and dismiss, i'm not really in the head space for this discussion at the moment. I don't think that one shouldn't discuss something if they're not actively volunteering, but i also do get frustrated from time to time with passion that doesn't effect change. (Does that make sense?) And after the…
