#69: Why I can't Make it on the Bachelor

Let's just get our laughs out folks. This is my 69th Blog. Hoorah, think dirty thoughts, ok, we're done.

Now here goes my post:

My friends are great, so great that they encourage me to go and audition for spots on shows like the Bachelor because they think I'd be awesome.  But here lies the problem, when was the last time you saw an Asian American girl on a network show like "The Bachelor?" C'mon really. There was one I believe, but they portrayed her as just really weird, exotic, and demonic, so that doesn't count. Yea, so there is no way in hell that the Bachelor would ever pick me...and even if they did, I wouldn't make it to the next round. Duh.

I know they save some Black/African American and Latinas and make sure that they don't get eliminated during the first round, but seriously, I think that's so that our respective communities won't lash out at the networks for trying. Oh the politics.


On another note, I think the only Asian American family show that has aired was Margaret Cho's "All American Girl."  I may be showing my age with this, but when I saw this show, I really loved it and was saddened when it got canceled.  And to this day, this was the LAST network show to ever come out portraying Asian American families.

Doesn't that suck?

Yes, it does.

So here's my point: for those who have encouraged me to audition for network tv, thank you.  But the problem is that someone like me would never make it on there because...I'm Asian, and Asians are not cool.  The only female ones you will ever see is Sandra Oh, Margarent Cho, Lisa Ling, and Lucy Liu and they will be it until the next century...or whenever one dies and one of us can replace them.

Ok, maybe Disney's Brenda Song.

You get my point, media hates us Asian people, and I don't know why. When was the last Asian American singer you heard on the radio, it was probably Jocelyn Enriquez, and you probably thought she was Latina because of her name...but she's really Filipina.

FML, society hates me. And I almost hate myself, but I'm not.

Here's Margaret Cho on Wendy Williams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsPrpxkhMZo&feature=related
