Asians in America need more rabblerousers.

That’s the big question. Perhaps people try so hard to fit in that they don’t want to stand out. Asian Americans are often tagged as “foreign” whether they were born here or not so maybe it’s just not wanting to stick out even more? I’m sure things like apathy, face and privacy, etc. play into it as well.

Where are the Asian-American candidates?.. the highest serving Asian Americans I can think of were Gov. Gary Locke ( WA) and Senator Inouye of Hawaii. Why haven’t there been more? Is it a matter of culture? As far as I can see politics is a big part of life in Asian countries… but here Asians don’t want to rock the boat?

The decor was festive, the music lively, the craft table crafty and the atmosphere festive. All in all, the bazaar offered a nice alternative to the typical holiday fests in the city. Kudos to the organizers and vendors for trying to bring the community together!
