You, dear reader, are likely an Asian/Asian American/Asian in America.

What is it that you hope for? 

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have A Dream speech was an epic moment in American history, but it was a widespread, if not common, desire verbally gift-wrapped in elegant passion. Forty-seven years later, we have a black president and have come a long way from the segregated America that King knew.  The Civil Rights movement was momentous for the black and white communities, but Asian Americans have been, in my young lifetime, saying, "Hey, wait - me too." But not too loudly.

Take a moment - what is it that you hope for?

Do you hope for genuine social equality?  Do you hope for political power?  Do you simply hope for acceptance for you, not you-as-an-Asian? Or would you simply be happy with equal economic opportunity, a family with 2.5 kids, minivan and white picket fence? A cliche, but a very satisfactory one.

Or do you think that we're doing just fine?

Let's hear what you have to say.
