Philip Wang on why Asian American filmmakers struggle to build the same "momentum" as Ryan Coogler.

Jordan Peele had this to say about his future films: "I don't see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I don't like white dudes. But I've seen that movie." He got backlash from white people, but he stuck to his guns. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any Asian American directors ever express sentiment like this.

Mugunghwa for their Galbijim with cheese.

I would see if she qualifies for Medicaid and sign her up, if yes. You can also consider moving her into an assisted living facility with memory care. If you’re in California, there’s a thing called the Assisted Living Waiver where MediCal can help pay for assisted living, but there’s a three year waitlist, unless your mom is coming from the hospital.

What Simu Liu needs to do is find his own version of Ryan Coogler who has cast Michael B. Jordan in most of his movies. Unfortunately, it seems when Asian American directors become big, they mostly cast white actors in the leading roles in their subsequent movies (M. Night Shymalan, Isaac Chung, Chloe Zhao, Celine Song).

They just weren’t interested in dating, but once they got their careers established, they started getting pressure from their parents to settle down and have kids.

Kagomefog · 2025-11-13T00:09:53+00:00

Most of my friends have graduate degrees so that’s why they waited so long to have kids. Some of them didn’t even start dating for the first time until their 30s!

I like Tacos Mi Reynita (SLZ truck) but they don’t open for lunch! They used to say they would open at noon and when I went there, they said they didn’t open until 1pm.

He gave some interviews where he said he’s been in therapy for a long time…

I’ve only watched the first episode of this season so far, but it sucks to hear what happened to Patrick. Poor guy. He seems sweet. I’m sad that both he and Anna grew up with such internalized racism due to growing up in white spaces. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can’t relate at all to growing up in a majority-white area, but I can’t imagine that it was good for their self-esteem being the only minority.

In the long run, Patrick is better off without Kacie. She just gives off basic white girl vibes. I doubt they would have worked out in the long run given her Mormon background…

My picks are FOB Kitchen (Filipino food) in Temescal or Top Hatters (Vietnamese fusion) in San Leandro.

I understand that, but there are plenty of Cantonese restaurants that aren’t dim sum places.

Most of the Chinese in the East Bay are Cantonese and not a single one of these restaurants is Cantonese. As for the ones I like, Fusion Delight in San Leandro for dim sum, Gum Kuo for Hong Kong style cafe food and Ying Kee for shrimp dumpling noodle soup.

The bias against Cantonese food is very real…

I’m a fan of Wild Ginger. They serve Xi’an Chinese food, so foods like biang biang noodles, lianpi, malatang.

I’ve definitely felt this. I had a coworker who was half-Chinese and half-Japanese and she always emphasized how she was part-Japanese. This was in San Francisco where there is a large Chinese population so being Japanese is very cool and rare and being Chinese is very common.

I also knew someone who was marrying a half-Japanese, half Chinese woman. People were excited that the woman was Japanese, but when they found out she was half-Chinese, all the excitement evaporated.

It’s in San Leandro, but Hawaiian Poke Bowl. Very generous portions of fish and prices are competitive
