By Stacy Nguyen Northwest Asian Weekly Man, I don’t have much snark for you in this column, and I am disappointed in myself too. Here’s a bunch of earnestness, sigh! OMG, there are so many Asians at the Met Gala now! Mom, we’ve made it! This year’s Met Gala theme was “In America: A Lexicon […]
I WAS WRONG ABOUT CHRISSY TEIGEN, OKAY?!—A-pop: Pop culture ‘news’ about Asian-y stuff
Man, it’s been a rough time—for me because it was so hot and then it was so not, and I feel so robbed of an entire season—and also a little bit for Chrissy Teigen because people are mad at her—but most of all, it’s been the roughest for her many, many victims.
Before we get to the core of what I’m talking about, you have to run through a gauntlet of other celeb gossip. You’re welcome!
Silk Sonic being heartthrobs and Sandra Oh repeatedly crushing the dreams of suburban moms!
It’s almost the summer of the Covid vaccine, and I’m real excited for it. It’s gonna be the summer of real sexy bangers because we can go outside now! It’s gonna be the summer where Sandra Oh just murders it while making us laugh.
A-pop! White people are ruining ‘bamboo ceiling’ for us!
I know we’ve all had a really terrible week, and it feels a bit discordant to read frivolous pop culture news. But I hope this column gives you a break from the heaviness.
A-pop! Three white ladies Columbus’d mahjong … and other stories!
Welcome to the first 2021 edition of A-pop! I have some reheated leftovers from the end of 2020 for you (mmm, I love leftovers!) as well as some shiny new items to share. Let’s get to it!
A-pop’s 2020 hall of fame/shame—The brightest and the very worst—from a truly craptastic year
Man, I can’t wait for 2020 to be over, too! Writing this roundup was kind of hard because the high points were hard to come by, the low points were plentiful, and everything—when it comes to Asian popular culture, constantly revolved around the pandemic and how every white person thinks that Asians are the problem. (Instead of white people’s pervasive racism being the problem.)
A-pop! On dogs, public-shaming, accidental racism, and true love!
“The Pack” is a reality show featuring dogs and their owners (or as I like to say, their human mommies and daddies). Each team goes around the world competing in athletic challenges for a chance to win $500,000.
A-pop! — White people who do and say racist things — and the white friends who love and forgive them!
In this column, there’s a lot of white nonsense. You have been forewarned!
Black Lives Matter (which is the theme of this A-pop column)
By Stacy Nguyen Northwest Asian Weekly Hey, everyone. I know that it feels a little bit weird to consume pop culture news this week when most of our news focus should be on the George Floyd protests and furthering the conversation about why, above all, Black Lives Matter —as well as the hard work that […]
Scandals and pop news in the time of Corona — A-pop! API things in popular culture!
In a video, she said, “Yeah, till July sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I’m sorry. It’s a virus, I get it. I respect it. But at the same time, like, even if everyone gets it — like, yeah, people are gonna die. Which is terrible. But inevitable?”
