Our internal e-mail lists have us discussing all kinds of stuff: Asian American identity, representation in the media, the experiences of activism in an academia setting and its progression as we transition to the working, adult world. And sometimes, we become inspired by recent events and share ideas on forming our own Asian American gang. We’re super hardcore, yo.
Tim: Chinese American man beaten by Korean Americans in alleged hate crime attack.
Moye: Down with Asian on Asian crime! Also, I would like to start my own chapter of the Asian Mafia Assassins. With a better name. Who’s in?
Mike: Ooooh, what would you name your new gang? Azian Ninjaz Xtreme? Panda Master Killers? Psycho Slants Studs & Sluts?
Joz: I think it’s time for a post entitled: “Name Our Asian Gang”
Moye: I was going for ‘Sup Dumplings (LIKE SOUP BUT INSTEAD LIKE ‘SUP LIKE WHAT’S UP. GET IT?)
Mike: ‘Sup Dumplings: It’s what’s on the inside that counts, Crazy 8Asians (as in, Crazy 88s), Yellow Peril. (Because thinking up gang names is so much more fun than working…)
Efren: Crazy 88s? If people start singing Grease songs, I’m leaving…
As you can see, we’re still figuring out a good name. Anyone else have a better idea?
