I was asked to write a public statement about the overwhelming response to my blog post:
Hello everyone. I see I touched a nerve. First I'd like to say thank you to everyone who read and shared my previous blog post.
I can call out my Asian sisters and still love them at the same time. I know that Asians have to deal with the effects of colonialism, post-war occupations, and the stigma of being perpetual foreigners in western countries, Australia or NZ.
Together we called out white people after the election of Trump, we called out white feminists for not being inclusive, we called out the racism of Asian entrepreneurs in black neighborhoods, we called out Hollywood for white-washing our characters, we called out United and we called out Pepsi. We explored the roots of white supremacy and why negative Asian stereotypes exist.
It's ok for Asian women take a look in the mirror too though. I'm not telling you who to date. I'm telling you to ask yourself why you date that way. I don't believe it's just the cause of population ratios and oversimplified preferences. I believe it's more than that. Dating preferences like these are often rooted in racism and we need to talk about it more now that the dialogue has been opened up. I stand by everything I said.

I usually do a write up of the events I’ve organized or hosted and my most-read articles at the end of the year. This was an unusual year (obviously, there is no need to go into it here) so I didn’t bother. Instead I want to highlight a project of mine that I am particularly proud of — it’s my new podcast show, Unverified Accounts, that I cohost with my frequent collaborators, Chris Jesu Lee and Filip Guo. If you're a big movie/TV/book buff, have leftist sympathies, but can't stand 'wokeness' dumbing down our culture, then we're the podcast for you. So far in our 25 episodes, we’ve covered a range of contentious topics.
