From the days of yore

(pic from here)

What I love most about the web is the fact that it enables people to communicate with each other.  I’ve sent and received e-mails from top NY Times columnists, as well as random people in places as distant as Korea and the UK.  The internet knows few boundaries of social class or place.  The net has also enabled us to see a lot of the world, much of which we would not see without it.  Case in point is this post by the good people at Bicoastal Bitchin’.  They saw a piece of Orientalist nonsense playing at a local theater, and they did what red blooded young Asian American bloggers do–they called the Orientalists out.  It’s evident from that show’s trailer that it’s just an Asian version of Step’n Fetchit where the white guy saves the day and rises above the comical colored minorities.
