My son’s first time trying Uyghur food. Started off with the Tiger Salad and Manta. 🥗🥟
Spicy fried noodles. So good. 🌶
Also ordered the lamb soup and the lamb skewers aka my late night street food of choice during my years in Shanghai. 🔥
“Dolan’s owner, Bughra Arkin, came to the United States to study international public policy and management at USC before veering into the restaurant business.”
I’m also glad I got to meet the owner tonight. He came over to take our order and I let him know that I was moved by his story.
His story is worth a read and his food is amazing and worth the trip out to the 626 to support his business and family. ❤️ latimes.com/local/lanow/la…
“For Arkin, food is his medium to convey his sense of cultural autonomy, and he hopes that while people enjoy the flavors of his hometown that they could also educate themselves on the grim realities of modern Uyghur culture.”
“To understand why, it is best to try to think from the perspectives of China’s leaders. Their intended messages are aimed at different audiences: domestic Internet firms and the domestic public at large, as well as those outside of the country.” chinafile.com/reporting-opin…

Asian Americans being unapologetically Asian American in America is my favorite mode in the face of all the xenophobia and anti-Asian sentiment of 2020.
We mobilize. We vote. We say fuck you in ways our parents could not when faced with hate. #AAPI
18 to 29-year-old #AAPI voters cast 84,000 early votes in 2016.
So far this year, young Asian American voters have cast 330,000 early ballots. An almost 400% increase! 🙌🏼
“...polls show that Indian Americans are turning decisively to the left, alienated by the @GOP’s divisive rhetoric toward immigrants and minority groups.
You know why our frontline healthcare workers can’t get the supplies they need? Because we are limiting options in the global supply chain to US standards and creating bottlenecks during an emergency.
We need to recognize country equivalent standards so we can import supplies.
Ask your hospital, city, state to tell whoever is bottlenecking global options for needed medical supplies to accept country equivalent standards.
N95 masks are equivalent to FFP2 and KN95 masks. If other countries are doing this why can’t we?
I am up 20 hours a day for months getting requests for supplies and while other countries are buying everything up, Americans are getting in their own way on narrow requirements.
You know how hard it is to find a factory that is FDA, NIOSH approved with English packaging?
