Old But Cool – 60 Years of Asian Heroes

BLOGSBy Pacific TiesMarch 11, 2009Leave a comment

I tend to bookmark things on the intention of going back to read them … but sometimes I forget.  But back in 2006, TIME Magazine published this really cool feature on “60 Years of Asian Heroes” which I argue is a timeless piece. How can we talk about APAs now without knowing all the history…

So I’ve been following the Kogi taco truck around for the past few weeks. On Twitter. Kogi is the brainchild of Mark Manguera, whose fusion of Korean BBQ and the ubiquitous taco truck has created a Los Angeles food sensation.  People keep talking about it – in class, at work, in my apartment, in the…

NEWS, POLITICSBy Pacific TiesMarch 5, 2009Leave a comment

As Hmong refugees in Thailand face deportation back to the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Hmong activists in the U.S. are seeking help from President Obama to prevent what would be involuntary deportations. President Obama has stated in an earlier letter before taking office that as president, he would bring back American commitment to international human…
