  Lynn Padilla, "It's the 90s, so I think I'll be Asian"
  which talks about minimizing the model minority myth.

  Minyu Pak, "I See Sangapul", which talks about how
  some asian women such as her mother have their
  eyelids "fixed" to make their eyes look larger.

  Martin Wong, "Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy:
  Masters of Kung Fu", a long write up of a
  remarkable Marvel comic from the mid-70s.        (A period when not too much
                                                   was happening, comics-wise).



  Most interesting to me was:
                                                            HETEROPHILIA
  Daria Yudacufski, "Penis Envy", in which
  a half-asian woman (she calls herself "hapa")
  complains about men who complain about women        This was a common topic
  such as herself dating white guys...                in the 90s-- asian guys
                                                      gnashing their teeth
  This is a fascinating display of                    at white guy-asian girl
  counter-sterotype stereotyping:                     couples-- that seems
                                                      to have completely faded.
  "These men generally believe that white
  women won't date Asian men.  The funny                  I have a theory that
  thing is that most of these guys refuse                 now that Asian guys
  to date white women anyway.  What they                  have discovered milk
  prefer for their own personal                           they're getting over
  relationships are nice, traditional                     the old "small race"
  Asian women who fall right into that                    inferiorty complex.

  demure Oriental female."
