I think it took me almost five tries to get through the article. Anna, your writing was top notch as usual. It was just the picture. Rather distracting. But, Sin – I won’t fight you for this one.

UhÂ…I am brown and I never took chemistry, not even in high school (w00t Earth Science!); letÂ’s not discuss the relationship I have with Math, since it involves a story about an angry nun and a flying textbook. HmmmÂ…no wonder I am not a rich and over-worked I-banker/MD

More power to you. I did roughly the same. We need brown representation in ALL areas:)

I think we already heard from Neel’s uncle in that Gawker bit. Uncle Tom was pretty damn clear, I’d say…

In Canada, we grew up differentiating between East Indian and West Indians, because the Westies were from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. If you were East Indian with darker skin, you’d make a point of saying East Indian so people wouldn’t confuse you as an islander.

yeah, i’ve also noticed people using “south asian” and “south east asian” interchangibly, even though i had though thought “south east asian” referred to vietname, malasia and thereabouts…
