Christine at Shanghai Shiok has written her final post on heterosexual Asian-white relationships. She even made a cute, hand-drawn infographic. Now that she’s washed her hands clean of the topic, I’d love to see a queer/non-heterosexual stance on Asian interracial relationships. Any takers?
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed Kosal Khiev, a Cambodian man deported from the United States after growing up here and living here for decades. I’ve written about this issue before and it’s telling that while the US media has remained silent on this issue, it has caught the attention of a national broadcaster abroad!
LIAM COCHRANE: For people who’ve never heard of this, can you explain why you were, as a kid who grew up in the States, why you were sent back to Cambodia, or sent to Cambodia, not back?
KOSAL KHIEV: Okay. So, they said that because I committed a crime of immoral turpitude that it’s reason to be deported. So if I didn’t have my citizenship, which I couldn’t have had my citizenship because I got locked up at 16, so how was I supposed to apply for my citizenship?
