Hilarious video by Just Kidding Films, regarding a role reversal of a typical Asian parent and his son. You would think that the Asian parent would nag his child about being a “good boy” and take on a prestigious career, but instead this video is the son taking that role and the parent being the rebellious one in the relationship. Check it out!

When people talk fashion, it is mostly within its own category of discussion. But what most don’t realize is that fashion is a very primitive need of protecting the body from the environment and weathering. In another light, architecture is also a very primitive need of protecting humans, animals and earth species from the environment. Where these two concepts meet is at a very humane level, and as these two forms of design have evolved, we now have seen very interesting connections and relationships between the two. In this article, we chime in with architectural designer and fashionista, Rachel…

Hahahah! This video is hilarious. What’s interesting is that Timothy DeLaGhetto uses the line “We got to stop all this black on black crime.” What that sparked in my mind is an interesting notion that the tribulations of Black America has some relation to Asian Americans. Definitely, our Asian-American forms of struggles were not as extreme, yet the struggles of segregation and prejudice on both sides encourage strong relationship between the two races. Refer to the book Afro Asia, written by Black-American author and Asian-American author Fred Ho. I LOVE CORN! Ricky Shucks http://youtube.com/ibeshucks Sound by Tremain Hayhoe Edited by Blake…
