aldo-vallon - April 30, 2018
I either do not understand what the Asian Awards are, or I do not know what race Francine Lewis is.
I always thought that when there was an award with a specific race in the title then it meant that only people of that race were included. It is like how BET, Telemundo, and country clubs are fairly exclusive to certain types of people.
But if I was wrong about that then I have a ton of missed opportunities in my past. I could have won so many Latino writing contests that it is not even funny. I think I could cater to that type of demographic to great success. What has always held me back is that I knew the day would inevitably come when I would be unmasked as the pasty white boy that I have always been.
But maybe I am wrong about all of that. Maybe Francine Lewis is of Asian descent. Lewis could be an anglicized version of Lee-san. It is as plausible as any of the other explanations that I have thought up, and some of them were really out there.
Regardless, it showed a lot of class on Francine’s part to not go full Mickey Rooney and attend in yellow face.
