I don’t do nail either!

One down (sausage man), another rises up.

Jimmy Dean that is. (He could have come back with a better retort, ” No I don’t do sausage” backstage, and “No, I don’t do nail” on stage).

Although it’ s America’s Got Talent his routine came across as America Got Burden ” you owe me some back allowance”.

I have had my shares of poor-taste portrayal of Asian in the media (most recently was an Asian married woman in “She is way out of my league”).

Now this. The only counter punch is, if there are better raw stuff out there,  why didn’t you try out? (No, I got to do nail). What are you waiting for?

At least, the gay community has come out, since 1970. One of the last groups to rightfully claim their American rite of passage is Asian-American (see my other blog on The Nguyen).

We got friends who published both in Technology and Business subject.

We got film directors that do us proud.

We got elected officials and television anchors.

Next come-out party should be at a high-level, organized and representative of a group of  smart, strong and sensitive people who care about the world at large.

You see, out of the ash rises the Phoenix. If dioxin cannot destroy the spirit, I don’t think anything else will. Just wait and see. Out of 3+ million Vietnamese overseas, we have seen remittance of around $9 Billion. And this is during the economic downturn. Wait until the water lifts all boats. And Jimmy Dean (Dinh) said he would come back next year to try out again. By then, Mandel’s back allowances will gain more interests. Still, I don’t do nail either. I am not that dexterous. I know from whose hands that 9 Billion dollars were. Nothing is wrong with earning an honest living. But America Got Issues: it is too lazy to steer away from racial stereotyping. More beer summit then.

And please include me. I will wear Hawaiian, if you don’t mind.
