Asians on Reality TV: The Amazing Race’s Cindy Chiang

Posted on October 12, 2011 by John

As a fan of The Amazing Race, I was unfortunately traveling abroad for work in Shanghai and missed the premiere of the latest season a few weekends ago. In the past, the Amazing Race has done a terrific job of representing Asian Americans in the reality TV series, including:

I may be missing some contestants, as I have not watched every single season … This season, Cindy Chiang (a 30-year-old Brand Manager from Chicago) will be racing with her fiance, Ernie Halvorsen. And to kick off the season, The Amazing Race’s first destination was Taiwan.

About John

I'm a Taiwanese-American and was born & raised in Western Massachusetts, went to college in upstate New York, worked in Connecticut, went to grad school in North Carolina and then moved out to the Bay Area in 1999 and have been living here ever since - love the weather and almost everything about the area (except the high cost of housing...)
