Am I Asian Pacific American? The question I asked myself before sitting down to write this blog. How would I properly address the issues that affect my ethnicity if I’m not even sure how I identify myself? Before I begin figuring out where I fit I must go wash my hands. There is still some residual muruku (chakri) on them from my midmorning snack. Before I continue I must turn over my aloo samosas that are baking in the oven. Before I continue I should remove my shoes and place them next to the door. Wait! My kettle is whistling it’s time for afternoon tea.

I knew this was going to happen.  An Asian American guy steps up to run for office, and the media reveals its true feelings. The good thing is that the media's issues--not our issues--are coming to light, and if Sam wins, we can continue to help them work on these issues.  Go Sam.
