[quote=ocrenter]FLU, on Evelyn Lin, what is up with this Chinese mainlander changing her last name to appear “Taiwanese?”
On the Asian thing, this stereotype thing is getting overplayed. Folks need to give it a rest.
On Michael Chang, yes, a brief 15 sec of fame and now in total obscurity. No worries, my Taiwanese friend is feeding his boys REAL AMERICAN CRAP so they become super giants, the 9 year old is almost approaching my height. At this rate, he’ll be in the NBA in no time.[/quote]
Funny that you bring up Evelyn Lin FLU, guys on this UCSD forum I read love to bring her name up every chance that they get. I was at UCSD during the time she went there but unfortunately never saw/met her. But I agree she’s not really good looking in the overall scale of girls. However, if she really was that good looking she would probably have gone into a more respectable modeling profession rather than doing porn.
Regarding asian tennis players, the average american might not know who Michael Chang is but if you’re a tennis fan you certainly do. I agree his one French Open win was lucky but he did win a great number of titles (just not grand slam titles) and was in the top 10 ATP rankings for the majority of his career. Certainly he made a pretty good living playing tennis. As someone already mentioned Li Na and Jie Zheng are both top ranked women’s players (although not likely to ever win a major) and Liu Yen-Shen is a top 50 player on the men’s side. So asians are up and coming and it wouldn’t be too far fetched for a tall asian player with a huge serve to come along and become the next Federer or Nadal.
