EDITORIAL: The truth about fake news

March 5, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

A form of news consisting of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media or online social media—that’s the definition of fake news by Wikipedia. The way most people use it nowadays, in my observation, defies this definition. In short, people use the phrase “fake news” when it contains information they don’t like or […]

EDITORIAL: Better late than never, California

February 27, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

One day after the Day of Remembrance, California lawmakers unanimously passed a resolution to formally apologize for the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II—and for the state’s “failure to support and defend the civil rights and civil liberties of Japanese Americans.” In the months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, President […]

EDITORIAL: The Yang effect

February 20, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

He’s no longer in the race. But Andrew Yang’s run for president will have a lasting impact on the Asian American community, especially those with aspirations for political office. He dropped out after the New Hampshire primary earlier this month, but no other presidential candidate of Chinese descent has gotten as far or lasted as […]

EDITORIAL: Congratulations “Parasite.” But what about the cast?

February 13, 2020 By Ruth Bayang

South Koreans reacted with rare collective joy after director Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite’” won the Oscar on Feb. 9 for best picture and three other awards. The wins made history in both the Hollywood and South Korean film industries. The class satire is the first non-English-language film to win best picture in the 92-year history […]

EDITORIAL: Just calm down

January 30, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Ever since news broke of the first confirmed case of the coronavirus in the United States (a Snohomish County man in his 30s), it seems as though people around me are panicking. I recently returned from a trip to Asia with a cold and persistent cough. Even though I didn’t set foot in China, people […]

EDITORIAL: #OscarsSoWhite Part 2

January 16, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

This year’s Academy Awards are stirring controversy—again—over the lack of diversity in its nomination pool. After a banner 2019 that seemed to signal a much-needed shift, this year’s nominees indicate that change remains inconsistent and slow to arrive. It’s very likely that #OscarsSoWhite will start trending once again. Among the four acting categories, the only […]

EDITORIAL: All white debate?

January 2, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Andrew Yang had an idea for how the Democratic National Committee (DNC) can increase diversity at the next presidential debate. But he was shot down! As you’ll recall, he was the only person of color during the December debate— calling it an “honor and disappointment” at the same time. So far, the only five candidates […]

EDITORIAL: Bring on the bulldozers!

December 19, 2019 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The International Special Review District (ISRD) board decided on Dec. 10 to move forward with the final design and demolition of the Four Seas Restaurant on 714 South King Street. Developed by InterIm, a new building will rise in its place—provisionally called Uncle Bob’s Place. It will have eight stories with commercial space on the […]
