Glee's "Other Asian" - Oh no they didn't! | Harry Shum Jr
By Tamiko Ogura
Okay, I didn't come up with "Other Asian" on my own...that would be donkeyass. It's actually a quote from the show Glee during the "Ballad" episode where the character Tina Chang-Horowitz (Jenna Ushkowitz) picks the name of her ballad-partner out of a hat...and she rolls her eyes and says, "Other Asian" -- while the camera pans to shy football player/Glee member, Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr).
Surely the Gleeks out there have noticed that "Other Asian"...I mean, Mike Chang...has never spoken. Never! I guess the "shy" personality covers the asses of the corporate majority powers that be that part of not speaking. What, is he a selective mute? That would make more sense since he does sing - he is in the glee club.
This is not fabulous, fantastic, fierce at all. Hmnph. In the meantime he's kinda in the background, let's get real, right? We're more enthralled with the Kurt-Finn-Rachel-Quinn-Puck love triangle polygon.
FYI: Harry Shum Jr ("Other Asian" Mike Chang) is of Chinese descent, and he was born in Costa Rica...and, swoon, is multilingual - English, Spanish, Chinese. Here's Mike Chang (aka Harry Shum Jr) bustin' some moves (oh, shades of Young MC):
