Yao Ming needs YOU!

CALLING ALL CHINESE AMERICANS!!!!

CALLING ALL CHINESE AMERICANS!!!!

We should feel embarassed that the Houston Rockets have chosen a white guy to be the interpreter for Yao Ming. Collin Pine was quoted as Yao Ming's interpreter in a recent article on the Associated Press. I remember telling my friend Andy to apply for the job. Andy is fluent in both Mandarin and English. How could the Rockets not even consider him?

Okay, maybe Collin Pine is a basketball fan. Don't you know that Andy is "THE MAN" on the Lowell courts!?!?!?!

Okay, maybe Collin Pine lives in Houston. No problem. There are plenty of Chinese people in Houston and Texas overall.

Give me a significant reason that shows why Collin Pine is more qualified than one of the thousands of Chinese speaking Chinese Americans who love basketball?

Ugh!!!!!

I don't know whether I should be embarassed that my Mandarin wasn't good enough to take that job. Or if I should be upset that Chinese Americans have not been flooding the Houston Rockets office to get that job? Or should I be pissed off that the Houston Rockets chose a white guy over any other Chinese speaking Chinese American?

Ugh.
