Jeremy Lin Is: Successful Asian-American Basketball Star!

Written by  Vickie Toro  
Successful Asian-American Basketball Star?!

Last week, the sports world was overcome with Linsanity!  New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin kicked major ass and proved to the world that he isn't just a bench-warmer.

And what did the very best, most reputable sports casters have to say on the matter?  A number of things that would have been flattering, were they not inexplicably more focused on the fact that the break-out basketball star is Taiwanese-American.

It's time to break from those pesky Asian stereotypes, friends!  Time to respect Lin as a basketball all-star, rather than an Asian basketball player!

Comediva writer and performer Vickie Toro graduated from USC with degrees in I Don’t Know How to Do Practical Things Like Math and Maybe I Should’ve Listened to My Mother (i.e. Cinema-Television Critical Studies and Narrative Studies).  She spends her time thinking about deep things, getting distracted by not-deep things, and then gigglesnorting.    

To comfort her, Vickie's dad, a retired colonel with a heart of gold, emails articles about successful shy comedians.  To make her feel worse, her mother, a Korean with the heart of an ox, tells her how much money computer scientists like Jon, Vickie’s ex-beard, are making.  Then Vickie impersonates her, which isn’t really rebellion because her mother says Vickie owes her a “Jagooah” (Jaguar).  In short, Vickie loves everything about comedy: the joy, the laughter, the women, etc.  But, just in case, she’s trying to find a way to make Jane Lynch her suga-mama.

Oh yeah, Vickie's also the star of Comediva's web series, "Mommy Says."
