...family restaurant rather than pursue journalism.Veronica Clark, an editor of The Improper Bostonian, said she agreed with Young that journalism is a nontraditional career path for minorities.“People in Boston see me as a novelty,” said Clark, who is half Asian and half Caucasian. “It is surprising how nontraditional the career is still seen among Asians now.”Marcus Mabry, chief of correspondents and a senior editor of Newsweek, said that the struggle of minorities in the media is one of “adversity and distinction?...
Nothing much usually happens in Nalchik, capital of the obscure Caucasian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. Mostly, tourists come to ski or climb in mountains that include Europe's highest, Elbrus.

...bother me. People have got to help me walk here and there, but they don't think of it as a limitation because I don't. You could also say the same thing about my ethnic background--being Asian, Chinese, in what is mainly a Caucasian world of business. I pretend it isn't there. The work-ethic part, you've got to be passionate about what you do and instill that passion. I don't expect people to do things I don't do myself.
