But I've always lived where there basically isn't any other Asian population (if only I had known Kat when we were kids!) so it's not that startling.
Such a missed opportunity, Liese! I knew some Asians, but they were Filipino and, mostly, moneyed Filipino at that. One friend's grandpa was the governor of one province, the rest were all kids of doctors. So they didn't think of me as one of them since I'm a halfsie.
But yes, we should have known each other 30 years ago!

Huh. I worked for the company that wrote that test. I have no insight to offer.
I just found a reference showing one of my ancestors was fined for "disorderly talking in meeting" in 1648.
I'm finally watching Scandal for the first time, and:
Ooooooooh.
Yes, I finally watch the fist ep this week, and I loved it. What I did not love -- the "naive" little white girl who is going to bring a conscience to the firm. Let's lose her and concentrate on the people making shit happen.
I missed the first two, and they aren't On Demand -- wtf.

Dang, you are descended from riff-raff, missy!

I totally count halfsies! It was funny looking at Champion on that map, and Chardon is so close.
It is close. But close in Western US terms, not in Ohio terms, necessarily.
My mom is super easy to find as the only asian in her tract!
