Congrats to Obama!
President-elect Obama…congrats! This is huge. This is showing the maturation of America. The African American community has made big strides over the last few decades. Now I want to be clear that Obama is only half-black, but in a very real way, I think he has had an African American experience due to how America views and treats him.
This is exciting, and hopefully he will be able to restore the US to a respectful place in the world.
It also does bring up thoughts on the Asian American experience. Will we in 4 decades see Asian American candidates? I have hope that it is possible, but to get there, we can’t just sit there. Politics is not a big aspiration for many Asian Americans, but times are changing. For those who are interested in that type of career, go for it!
