Comedian Eliot Chang put together a funny video about Things Asian Hate. His 3 minute video covers virtually every question/stereotype that Asian Americans deal with including “What Kind of Asian are you?”, “You speak really good English”, and “When did you come to America?”. We’re sure you’ve heard plenty of these in the past and even more the future. Eliot released pretty comprehensive list, so please stop saying these things to Asians.

Milking with Ryan Higa

There was planking, owling, and coning. Now, there’s milking, where people go to random places and pour milk all over themselves. Ryan Higa pleads for you to not cave in to this new fad by milking yourself. Milking is just plain wasteful and offensive to … cows. Ryan shows you other things you could be doing that are cooler, smarter, and less wasteful.

Ellen Wong as Mouse in The Carrie Diaries

Ellen Wong as Mouse in The Carrie Diaries
In The CW’s new drama series “The Carrie Diaries,” look for Ellen Wong as Jill “The Mouse” Chen, who is extremely bright and loyal, and is one of young Carrie Bradshaw’s best friends. Here’s more about “The Carrie Diaries”:

It’s 1984, and life isn’t easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie’s younger sister Dorrit is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie’s friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, snarky Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn’t doing much to take her mind off her troubles. Even the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian only reminds Carrie that she spent the whole summer grieving rather than moving on with life. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie’s eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she’s inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa’s world. Carrie’s friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she’s fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.

In the first episode, everyone in the group is surprised when studious, reserved, over-achieving Mouse suddenly confesses that she and her Princeton-student boyfriend had sex – and that he’s been avoiding her ever since. Look

More about Ellen Wong
Ellen Wong was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. After seeing Kate Winslet’s performance in “Titanic,” Wong knew she wanted to be an actress. Eager to be a part of film and TV, she took jobs working behind the scenes on local film and television productions, reading scripts and watching auditions at the local television network she worked at until she felt ready to make her move in front of the camera.

Her first role was on the award-winning television series “This Is Wonderland,” followed by an appearance on The CW’s “Runaway.” She was next caught stealing scenes as Knives Chau opposite Michael Cera in the 2010 Universal Studios feature, “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.” Not only did she get to show off her talent as an actress, but also was able to showcase her ability to take on intense fight choreography, wirework and weaponry. Following “Scott Pilgrim,” Wong booked a recurring role as Major Suzy Chao in “Combat Hospital.”

Trading action for thrillers, Wong’s next role put her into the award-winning short film “Silent Cargo,” in which her nuanced performance garnered her an ACTRA Nomination for Best Female Performance. She will also appear in the horror feature “Silent Night,” opposite Malcolm McDowell and Jamie King, due out in theaters this December. Wong currently splits her time between Toronto and New York.
