Dear Harry,
I’m very impressed with Hyphen Magazine, you and the entire team really did an outstanding job on this and I’m looking forward to more in the future. I just finished Alex Jong-Seok Lee’s “Commercial Success” article from the “Road Trip” issue and I can totally agree with a lot of the points highlighted. Yes, Asian Americans have been appearing in more commercials nowadays than in he past when everything was “black and white” (so-to-speak). I’ve been impressed to see less accents and stereotype-reinforced commercials and wish nothing but the best for the future recognition of Asian Americans. Although I can still see a few random commercials that lightly reinforce Asian stereotypes (ex. Popeye’s Chicken price calculator commercial), I can agree with Daniel Cho that if we just stop analyzing these commercials and appreciate the fact that we (Asian Americans) don’t look stupid on the television, Asian Americans will be able to garner more “Commercial Success”. Keep up with the awesome work, Hyphen!
