    AAPI Heritage Month is very important. Almost 10% of the US can claim AAPI heritage, and yet:


    Most Americans can't name a famous Asian American, survey finds
    A recent survey found 52% of people couldn't name a single famous Asian American. Nine percent named the actor Jackie Chan, who is not American.

    I, some of my relatives and I suspect many other Asian males have been called “Jackie Chan.”

    Which is better than 15 years ago I remember some people calling me Yao Ming while playing pickup ball. I told them I’m “5’-7, Yao is 7’-5”.
