Ok ya'll... tonight's finale of Asian America's Best Dance Crew was amazing! 20 million people voted. I soooo wish I could get a hold of voting stats and demographics. Alas... such data is unavailable for nerds like me. It was odd at times in the last week anticipating who would win - the Asian American men OR the group of racially diverse women?  In a way, it kind of felt like Obama v. Hillary all over again. The man of color or the woman? While I love Hillary, the moment Obama arrived on the scene, he had my vote. I think we can agree that Hillary just didn't bring it in the end, like the Beat Freaks... awesome from the beginning and consistent, but fell short in the last challenge. And Quest Crew bringing down the house in the last challenge, but not amazing all season long. So, who won? Would it be Beat Freaks or Quest Crew? Hollywood Ladies or Cerritos Brothas? (Spoiler under the cut)

Get the ABDC crews to do a PSA to get the AAPI vote out! The final performance tonight was a joint routine by BF and QC. The story told in the performance was basically of 2 crews fighting for VOTES! In the end... who won? [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="390" caption="The brothas from Cerritos, CA"][/caption] Yup... Quest Crew. I don't know how you all felt out there in the blogosphere.  I was definitely happy for Quest Crew, but immediately thought, "When will there be a female crew as viable to win it all as Beat Freaks???" mirroring the thoughts of many of my Hillary supporter friends' feelings after primary season last year. So, what do you all think? Am I drawing too many parallels in race, gender and voting to an MTV show? Did race trump gender? Would a PSA starring ABDC crews get more Asian American youth out to vote?
