From political appointees to chess champions( 9-year old Carissa Yip pictured) to winning recognition for standing up to bullying, Asian Americans had quite a few achievements in 2013.
What accomplishments stand out in your mind?
Certainly the release of the movie Linsanity stands out. It’s great to see an Asian American story play to a national and international audience.
The Hawaii Five O episode that weaved the incarceration of Japanese Americans on Hawaii with a 70-year old murder mystery proved to be a step forward, as was the casting of Ming Wa and Chloe Bennett in Marvel’s Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D, one of the biggest hits in the fall season.
But none of those made the list of top 10 accomplishments of Asian Americans in 2013. Check out the list from Northwest Asian Weekly and see if you agree.
