Asian Culture Discussion Thread

I know that area. Fresh Meadows is a very quiet, residential place. There’s an IMAX theater there that I like going to. It’s crazy that a shooting would happen there. It’s an anomaly. That should tell you the state of crime in NYC.

Norman Mineta

• Was in the internment camp at 10 years old during WWII
• Graduated from UC Berkeley, joined the army as intelligence officer during Korean War
• Ran his fathers insurance company
• First Japanese-American mayor of a major US City - San Jose, CA
• US House of Representatives CA

“He was one of the architects of the House resolution that first designated a week beginning in May 1979 to recognize the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. (Today, it’s a month.) He also founded the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.”

“The Civil Liberties Act of 1988, one of Mineta’s signature accomplishments, was deeply personal. It sought to redress the wrongs he and more than 120,000 Japanese Americans suffered while incarcerated during World War II.”

• First Japanese-American cabinet member, for both Clinton and Bush, as US Secretary of Commerce & Secretary of Transportation
• Called for the grounding of all flights in US after 9/11
• San Jose International Airport is named after him
• Received Presidential Medal of Freedom

In his recent passing, in addition to AAPI Heritage month, he should be celebrated.

 
Earlier this week a Chinese takeout delivery worker was murdered on his way to a delivery. He was on his scooter and someone shot him in the chest. It was in Forest Hills, Queens which is a really nice area. First murder there since 2016.
 
Damn .. keep us up to date with that. Forest Hills use to be my stomping grounds. shogun shogun

The killers are some scumbags.

I don’t drink them simply because they’re atomic bomb scale sugar bombs and bad for my diabetes.
 
These three korean ladies shouldve been packing, it couldve saved them from being shot.

I'm not saying they deserved to be shot.
