Xiao Pingguo (Little Apple): China's Response to "Gangnam Style"

So Summer 2012 saw social media drive up Psy's "Gangnam Style" to number 1 on YouTube.  In 2014, Chopsticks Brothers (a Mainland Chinese band) experienced a similar phenom with their catchy single "Xiao Pingguo" (Little Apple).

Below is the Korean take on "Xiao Pingguo."  The girl group is called T-ARA.  Classic K-pop style with the sleek, stylized dancing.  There're so many things wrong with K-pop.  But somehow it does catch and retain our attention.  Maybe it's the girls' mesmerizing beauty...

asians are too cute!

Her name is Joyce Chu, a Chinese-Malaysian. Just so cute!  She has since become an Internet sensation in Malaysia and Singapore.

Jeremy Long: Representin'

by Bian-lian Huang

Jeremy Long is one of the few Asian-American male porn stars in the industry.  Of course, the industry has long embraced Asian-American women porn stars such as Evelyn Lin, Alina Li, Tera Patrick, et al.

So this is "progress" for the porn industry and for society as a whole as Asian-Americans are becoming increasingly organic to this country.

Interestingly enough, this kid has not fully shed his Asian stereotype:  He is a law student at Boalt Hall, the highly selective law school on the UC Berkeley campus.  He's also a graduate of Cambridge University in England.  We should note here that Evelyn Lin was a student at UC San Diego, albeit a communications major.
