They Call Us Bruce 200: They Call Us 200

Jeff Yang and Phil Yu present an unfiltered conversation about what's happening in Asian America.



What's up, podcast listeners? We've got another episode of our podcast They Call Us Bruce. (Almost) each week, my good friend, writer/columnist Jeff Yang and I host an unfiltered conversation about what's happening in Asian America, with a strong focus on media, entertainment and popular culture.

In this episode, we celebrate 200 episodes of They Call Us Bruce by welcoming back some good friends and returning guests from Episode 100: actor Daniel Wu, who stars as the Monkey King in Disney's adaptation of American Born Chinese, and comedian/filmmaker W. Kamau Bell, whose HBO original documentary 1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed explores multiracial identity though conversations with kids and families. They discuss why the kids are all right, the meme-ification of Bruce Lee, and The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of having a foot in two worlds. Plus: Phil and Kamau engage in an impromptu Daniel Tiger sing-off.

Kristina Wong talks about Asian fetish guys on Totally Biased

And a very special message for Jeremy Lin.



If you missed Kristina Wong's awesome appearance last night on Totally Biased, here you go.

Within the first two minutes of sitting down (after crazy-hugging host W. Kamau Bell), she just throws it out there: "I have nothing against white people... Some of my best friends are white people... but white people say some really stupid shit." On cable television. This woman is amazing. Check it out:

See Kristina Wong tonight on Totally Biased!

W. Kamau Bell welcomes our pal Kristina, tonight on FXX.

Look who's going to be on the TV! If you're like me, and you enjoy the zany, provocative work of writer/cultural commentator/performance artist Kristina Wong, then you must not miss her as a guest tonight on FXX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. Yes, our friend Kristina has made it to the big time of cable television.

First, read this hilarious piece she wrote that went up today. If you're someone who has decried the fact that there is a Black History Month, but no White History Month, then this piece is for you. Kristina hears your pain: 8 Reasons People Of Color MUST Rally For A Long Overdue "White History Month."

Now, set your DVRs or make plans to be in front of the tube at 11:00pm tonight to see our homegirl. If you haven't seen Totally Biased, it's easily one of my favorite shows on TV, regularly offering sharp, funny and much-needed commentary on race and politics for these tumultuous times. Now on five nights a week.

The segment has been taped, and according to her Facebook post, Kristina promises that she "did some shit that might not have been ok with the FCC." Can't wait. For more from Kristina Wong, check out her website.
