If you grew up in Oregon, you know what it was like to be the lone Asian (unless you were with family members) in a crowded room, restaurant, grocery store or public event. It’s more unusual now to be the sole Asian in public in Portland, and I’m surprised when it does [...]
Episode: Season 2, episode 1 – “Intervention″
Air Date: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 9/8c on SyFy
