Dear Editor,
The article placed in your road trip issue called "Commercial Success" brought forth the overall message of why Hyphen magazine exists, which is to better portray Asians and Asian Americans in the media and to take a greater glimpse at an overlooked culture. I like the under the surface point that Alex made about learning to talk the talk and walk the walk. Nowadays, Asians and Asian Americans constantly discuss their concern about the portrayal of Asians in the media, but fail to take matters into their own hands by getting their feet wet in the performing arts or get themselves in organizations/companies which fight toward the cause of displaying Asians and Asian Americans properly. Hyphen has given another opportunity for Asians and Asian Americans to fight the media stereotypes that Asians are nerdy meek racket playing pushovers and displaying us with voice, talent, intelligence, and complexity. Thanks Hyphen!
Sincerely,
