In company with well-known comic artists Gene Yang and Derek Kirk Kim, and many other fans and professionals worldwide, one writer at theasianeconomist.com addresses the casting of Caucasian...

...Quad life is rough. Roll out of bed two minutes late for class? You’re already 20 minutes late, shuttle time. Want to schedule a meeting in your neighborhood? Just try to get friends to venture north and watch as their faces contort in disbelief. Have an hour between classes? Two hours? Three? You’ll be spending a good amount of time playing the “is it worth it?” game in your head and probably miss the shuttle doing it. Forget to bring your notes to section in half an hour...
