A few months ago, we featured up-and-coming Thai pop star Nat Sakdatorn. His single, "One Love," is simply epic! BTW, he's a graduate of the Berklee College of Music.

Chinese Superstar: Gloria Tang (aka GEM, Deng Ziqi)
Her name is Gloria Tang (Chinese name Deng Ziqi; stage name GEM), and she sings in three languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Definitely, one of the best pop singers in the world. She had won several major singing contests in China and Asia.
Interesting how this video was made in downtown LA, and they stereotypically chose an illegal alien to play her "boyfriend."

China's Ning Zetao Keeps Them Drooling
Step aside, Korean soap stars. China's gold medal swimmer, Ning Zetao, is getting just as much attention outside the pool as inside. His good looks, fantastic smile, and swimmer's build have left girls (and guys) across East Asia swooning. One of his largest fan bases is Korea, where girls follow him about on and off the Internet.
Many have called him the perfect specimen of Asian manhood.
He's also poised and articulate in front of camera.

TYRANNY OF THE STUPID
UNQUALIFIED BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE ALREADY GETTING FREE RIDES IN CALIFORNIA'S TOP PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES. NOW SENATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 5 (SCA-5), WRITTEN BY ILLEGAL ALIENS, PROPOSES TO OPEN THE FLOOD GATES FOR THESE DUMBASSES AT THE EXPENSE OF HIGHLY TALENTED AND HARD-WORKING ASIAN-AMERICANS.
SCA-5 ALSO HAS HORRIFIC IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE OPERATED ON BY LESS QUALIFIED DOCTORS?

Asian Americans furious at proposal allowing California colleges to choose students by race
Blacks and Hispanics under-represented in California colleges - but families fear bias if ban on selection by factors including race is lifted

Hundreds of Asian American families flocked to a community hall in northern California to learn about a state law that many fear would discriminate against their children in college admission because of their race.
"No! No! No!" the crowd chanted outside the hall in Cupertino, an affluent small city in the heart of Silicon Valley, responding to "SCA 5" shouted from a megaphone.
SCA 5 is a state constitutional amendment that seeks to lift the ban on the use of race, sex, colour, ethnicity or national origin in admission at California's public universities and colleges.
It was approved by the state senate last month but still needs assembly approval before it goes to a referendum.
I have not seen Chinese or Asian Americans get so involved in a very long time
Proponents of SCA 5 hope it will make it easier for under-represented minorities, such as black and Hispanic students, to secure enrolment. But Asian communities fear that this will come at their expense.
"I am so appalled to see this bill was proposed," said Xiaofei Zhang, the father of a girl in 10th grade, after the amendment was debated in Cupertino town hall.
"My wife and I spend the majority of our salaries on our daughter's education so that she can take piano lessons and learn all the skills that will get her to better universities one day.
"College admission should be solely based on merit. SCA 5 reverses the history and that's not American."
Asian students dominate admissions to a level that far outstrips their ethnic representation in California's population.
They made up 36 per cent of the University of California's admissions last year, despite making up only about 14 per cent of the wider population.
In contrast, blacks made up 4 per cent of admissions compared to 7 per cent of the population.
SCA 5 would go to a referendum in November if it passes the State Assembly.
The campaign against the amendment started online with about 100,000 signing petitions. The "No" campaign expanded to town hall meetings and the lobbying of state assembly members.
"I have not seen Chinese or Asian Americans get so involved in a very long time," said Albert Wang, a non-profit organisation leader who has been campaigning on civic issues for 25 years.
"For Chinese parents it's almost their only purpose to have their kids go to great universities, so it really touches a nerve with everyone," Wang said, after moderating at an SCA 5 debate.
A Chinese American mother with two children, one of them in high school, said: "This proposal is very unfair to Asian Americans.
"We emigrated to this country in the hope that we can reach our goals by our hard work, but not get judged by our race.
"SCA 5 is also bad for America because it will hurt the competitiveness of this country."
It's not only Chinese Americans who are opposed to SCA 5. About 200 kilometres north of Cupertino in Sacramento, Kajian Moorthy, 16, is decidedly uneasy after learning about the proposal.
"It was scary for me," said the Mira Loma High School junior whose parents migrated from Sri Lanka. "My college applications are around the corner and I am worried about consequences."
Moorthy said he has had to study hard to become one of the top students in his school, and aims to go to the University of California (UC) Berkeley or UCLA (Los Angeles).
He is already enrolled in college-level classes, which he hopes will help him gain admission to his dream school. To boost his extracurricular portfolio, Moorthy also takes part in an after-school debating team.
"It would be unfair if I work hard but don't get anything in return," he complained. "Others don't work hard, but get special treatment."
Experts say a lack of resources for under-represented minority students has led to unfairness.
They warn that without special treatment, minorities would suffer further marginalisation and the overall education system would be compromised by a lack of diversity. "Black and Latino students are very disproportionately consigned to the poorest performing schools in the state," said Patricia Gandara, professor of education at UCLA.
"Many of their schools do not have consistent leadership or well qualified teachers."
Gandara said there was a 21 percentage point gap between under-represented minorities in California's high school graduating classes and in first-year college enrolment.
Deborah Santiago, chief operating officer of Excelencia in Education, a Washington-based non-profit group focused on advancing equality in higher education, said the impact of SCA 5 "would be minimal in terms of increased participation in the short run, because programmes would have to be developed that meet the strict scrutiny of the Supreme Court rulings on the use of race and ethnicity".
And Henry Der, former superintendent of Public Instructions with California's Department of Education, said: "People jumped to conclusions that the bill is going to impose a quota against Chinese students. The word quota does not exist in the bill nor does the issue of racial parity."
He said the ultimate impact of SCA 5 was "hard to predict".

The flaw in the practice of affirmative action in that it hopes to salve the society's collective guilty conscience for putting blacks and Hispanics through terrible K-12 education by admitting a few otherwise not qualified students into top tier colleges. Problem is that these kids are likely to fail because they have not been properly prepared during the first 12 years of their education.
To make sure they don't fail in college, it will be necessary to sign them to bogus classes and given "A" and "B" for lectures not given and examinations not taken and courses not existing. The American universities do that now but it's been for star athletes on their way to professional careers where academic competence counts for very little.

Actually affirmative action is intended to support diversity, not minorities specifically. The courts have decided that there is a state interest in diversity at universities, especially state schools, and that in making admissions decisions schools can use race as one factor among many in making admissions decisions. They are not allowed to have quotas, but in effect that is where they seem to be heading in CA. This will be challenged in higher courts, and ironically could eventually undo years of effort to advance opportunities for qualified minority students. The schools in question in CA are majority Asian, from what I have read. Or at least Asian American students are over-represented in a strict sense. This circumstance seems specific to Southern California, but is increasingly true at other schools popular with certain demographics. One can love or hate affirmative action (I am not a big supporter because it is and has been a poor fix for the social imbalances it is supposed to redress), but it is not as a simple a legal issue as is presented in much of the debate and discussion.

I guess that it was ok when the discrimination was in favor of Asian students and against Caucasians but now it is bad because Asians are perceived as not needing affirmative action. Gotta love how fast affirmative action becomes bad when it does not benefit you any more.

Where have you been? Affirmative action has restricted Asian students for a long time - it didn't just happen overnight.
