Reality Check: The Hair Is Korean
Caucasians aren’t the only people with straight hair, that’s first of all. Although they’ve forced their beauty standards on the oppressed, deeming natural black hairstyles unprofessional (until you steal it and make it fashion), your strands aren’t admire in our community. Here’s a reality check for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the hair is Korean. Weaves and wigs are made from the thick, shiny, gorgeous bundles of Asian and Hispanic hair. White hair is affiliated with lice and thinness. That’s right, colored people admire the hair of other colored people. Gasp! I mean this is probably the biggest shock to the white imagination. Mind you any beauty supply store would have shown you this, a sacred place, many run by Asian people.
Unfortunately I have more bad news for caucasians. I know white washing ancient Egyptians is the goal. Completely dismissing the geopolitical events that resulted in the shift to mostly Mediterranean inhabitants today, but, but, facts are facts, especially artifacts. The wearing of wigs to serve different looks, for protective styles, as well as the products we use in our hair (coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil etc…) date back to ancient Egypt. We’re not new to this, we’re true to this. Did Oreo’s Super Bowl commercial not white wash me. That’s a statement not a question. Via: Hulu Girlfriends

Bring Back House Of Ho
Um, I demand that HBO brings back House Of Ho, in honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Month. I NEED to know what happened to Judy, Washington, Lesley, Regan…I played it as background while doing stuff, and got instantly hooked.
This reality show is based on a Vietnamese American family, with patriarch Binh Ho, immigrating to America and rising from literal nothing, to become a multimillionaire. The American Dream. Everyone is so strong willed, opined and vocal, an amazing cast. Love seeing the Houston Texas customs fusing and differentiating with the old world cultural beliefs. Quality television. Have you watched? You should.
