In Helen K. Ho the discussion of the way Asian Americans are portrayed in the media is very offensive. Asian are looked at as weak and nerdy. When played in a movie/TV character‚ the Asian Americans are looked at as some kind of overly Asian Kong Fu character. Same inaccurate descriptions can go the same for

GUNG-HO Gung-Ho is a movie about the takeover of an American automobile factory in Hadleyville‚ Pennsylvania by a Japanese company. The term Gung Ho is a Chinese expression for “work together” which is what the movie is about.

Moon-Ho Jung set out to not only help define a “coolie” but also to help us understand that "coolies" towed a line between slavery and freedom. The term "coolie" is quite tentative but the basic idea is that a “coolie” refers quite broadly to people of a subjugated “race” who have emigrated from another country to become cheap labor. Often the term “coolies” are targeting the Chinese‚ but it also expands to immigrants from India and the Caribbean. With the idea of exactly what a “coolie” might be

Jin-Ho has ‘delicate sensibilities’ owing to his ‘preference’. Gae-In appeals to the ‘gay’ Jin-Ho to help her with her makeover because she associates him with good perception about personal grooming and relies on the abilities he has acquired from being gay.

Concert Report The performance from Ashton Smith was quite impressive to say the least. To be honest I was never interested in classical music; let alone people who sing it. Not once during the concert I thought to myself‚ “when is this going to end”. This concert was very informative as well. The class interaction with Ashton allowed us to pick her mind. I was absolutely clueless of the preparation that singers do in order to perform to the peak of their abilities. For example‚ when
