San Francisco Asian-American Mayor – Ed Lee
SF has elected its first Asian-American Mayor Ed Lee. This is quite historical with Ed coming to prominence after serving as a temporary mayor when Gavin Newsom left for a statewide job. Right across the river in Oakland, there is also an Asian-American mayor making this a hotbed for Asian-Americans in politics.
Given the large Asian population in California, this is not a surprise, and yet, Asian-Americans are making bigger and bigger achievements in areas not typically associated with Asian-Americans. Finding success in being doctors, engineers, lawyers, and tech entrepreneurs is a start. Providing more positive role models in politics, dancing, acting, arts, etc. is the next step.
Let’s give Asian-American kids other positive goals to attain.
