My friends often say I'm the most racist person they know against Asians. And it's sort of like, If I make the joke first, then I have the power and I'm holding the cards and you're not going to put me down for that.

I came from a war-torn country and I was a victim of that racism because within tribes, within political lines, people were fighting. The first thing that I like to fight is racism because I know what it means, how it destroys the fabric of my society, of my wellbeing.

Sometimes I feel embarrassed because I'll tell the kids if someone is driving really slow or cutting in, I'll say Bloody Asian drivers. But I feel justified in saying it because I'm Asian.

I see racism as a cancer. It is a cancer growing in us. Unless we stop it, it vegetates and grows bigger which hurts every one of us.
