“Actually, I’m not that good at math.”
Last month, Buzzfeed asked its fans to submit questions they had about Asian Americans for its “Ask an Asian” video. Within hours, the site’s Facebook page became flooded with nearly 7,000 comments, and a good chunk of them were ridiculous, ignorant or racist.
Surprisingly, there seems to be a lot of people who have never seen a pregnant Asian woman before and are actually distraught over this revelation.
Comedian Jenny Yang teamed up with Buzzfeed and writer Thomas Reyes to answer some of the fans’ questions with her trademark sass and wit. Eugene Lee Yang also makes a fun cameo in the video, so keep an eye out for that.
