I suppose part of it is common language/references. In other words, I could talk about my friend Cathy, who I think is one of the FUNNIEST people I know (and who also happens to be a mixed-race Asian American) but unless you know Cathy you won't really understand what I'm talking about.<BR/><BR/>The next part of your comment because I don't see anywhere where I've written "getting away with it" in this particular post. So I don't know what that is in reference to. Could you clarify?<BR/><BR/>Finally, I do appreciate the reminder of other musicians and celebrities--which I was hoping people would write in about--which is why I ended the post with acknolwedging that there were a lot of folks I was leaving off and asking commenters, such as yourself, to chime in with other famous mixed-race Asian celebrities.<BR/><BR/>If you go through the archives you will see that I've written extensively about Tiger Woods and other mixed-race people.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for stopping by!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261371053113519712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658138279766595241.post-76336741120987787532008-05-29T13:34:00.000-04:002008-05-29T13:34:00.000-04:00hiwhy only famous mixed "white/asian" people?
