I do find it amazing that the racist statement by the basketball player Shaq O'Neal against the other basketball player Yao Ming has received virtually no media blitz. Is that a statement of the larger media and society that Asian-American concerns are of little consequence? I find this quote interesting: ...how come O'Neal didn't get the same treatment as major league pitcher John Rocker, who caused a furor when he denigrated immigrants and gays. Would the press have been all over a white athlete who said the same? But I do find it rather strange that only Asian-American-related media seem to be paying attention to it and there's a justifiably strong anger there. So where is everyone else?
