SGT_Conti posted... same person i think she's a troll It's possible but some people just have really weird views of Asians https://www.teenvogue.com/story/leonard-chang-characters-asian-enough For one of Leonard's other books, another editor passed on the novel but passed along a similarly distressing note. Leonard says it said, "The characters, especially the main character, just do not seem Asian enough. They act like everyone else. They dont eat Korean food, they dont speak Korean, and you have to think about ways to make these characters more ethnic, more different. We get too much of the minutiae of [the characters] lives and none of the details that separate Koreans and Korean-Americans from the rest of us. For example, in the scene when she looks into the mirror, you dont show how she sees her slanted eyes, or how she thinks of her Asianness." --- "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." <cite>SGT_Conti posted [p:900428595] in All Asian ...
