Someone at a #GoldenGlobes party last night:
Hey are you from China?

No.

Are you Korean?

Um no, sorry.

*a group nearby*:
THEY’RE AMERICANS!!! The issue isn’t about being recognized or “known.” Not everyone watches the Olympics just like not everyone sees every movie.

And there’s definitely nothing wrong with (politely) asking someone who they are, or where they’re from.

WOW. THIS GAME. #WorldSeries I wish I could have come up with a better tweet than that, but I’ve been here for 6 hours, and I’m hungry because I’m too afraid to leave my seat to get something to eat... BASEBALL!

The world has lost one of it’s brightest. My friend, my brother, @Tenis_Den... I miss you so much. .@Tenis_Den was an inspiring athlete, artist, musician, leader, and ambassador. He was brilliant in so many ways, but perhaps his greatest gift was his kindness and the compassion he showed toward others.

Hey ya
Hey yaaa Guys... the replies here are slightly disconcerting. YES, it is a song reference. The song is 2003 hit, “Hey Ya” by OutKast.

Last night was a dream that became a reality. @MaiaShibutani and I have worked so hard for this! Proud to be the first ice dance team of Asian descent to win a medal at the @olympics. (THREAD) When we started skating together, @MaiaShibutani and I didn’t see any teams on the ice that looked like us. There weren’t too many sibling teams either.
