OK, I admit I have been secretly watching Fresh off the Boat in reruns. I have been avoiding the show assuming that it would be another American Girl or Mr. T and Tina. Even though it continues the tradition of Asians adjusting to American life, I find myself laughing at jokes only Asians would find hilarious. Im still giggling about a B minus being a Chinese F. It reminds me of my high school days in Vancouver Wa.
I'm still waiting for the day we reach the point where asians on tv are an accepted part of American life. The grandkids are a combination of Chinese 3rd and Japanese 5th generation (= fourth?) and are still breaking barriers. The problem is we still meet some of those stereotypes. And those are the jokes I find hilarious.
