Quote

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.

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.
