Conan O’Brien accidentally exposed the culture gap between Koreans and Korean-Americans
In the context of the K-drama, the heroine is [put off] by Conan’s familiarity, exaggerated bravado, and awkwardness. The white guy is never the hero.
You might think that a Korean-American star visiting Korea might get a hero’s welcome. But this is rarely the case.
..Going through the Korean media coverage of [Steven] Yeun, it’s clear to me that Koreans don’t know what to do with him, even though his Korean is quite good. To Koreans, he is in that awkward Korean-American category—neither fish nor fowl, inherently somewhat untrustworthy.
…In one scene from the Conan special, Yeun is comically unable to identify any of the side dishes at a Seoul restaurant, leading Conan to comment, “You’re sort of like Anthony Bourdain if he knew absolutely nothing.”

Gov. John Bel Edwards’ latest budget proposal includes deep cuts to TOPS, hospitals, higher ed
Thousands of college students could lose scholarships they get from Louisiana’s popular Taylor Opportunity Program for Students and state-funded health clinics could be shuttered, if lawmakers are unable to find another way to fill the looming $750 million budget shortfall.
…TOPS was created as an incentive for Louisiana high schoolers to stay in the state for college and as a pathway for students who otherwise would not be able to afford to stay in school after they finish the 12th grade.
…Other cutbacks the latest plan identifies: Higher education would take a $46.1 million hit, Corrections would be cut $34.1 million, the judicial branch would face a $15.9 million cut, and the legislative budget would be slashed $7.3 million.

How Home Ownership Keeps Blacks Poorer Than Whites – Forbes
A 2001 Brookings Institution study showed that “wealthy minority neighborhoods had less home value per dollar of income than wealthy white neighborhoods.” The same study concluded that “poor white neighborhoods had more home value per income than poor minority neighborhoods.” The Brookings study was based on a comparison of home values to homeowner incomes in the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas, and it found that even when homeowners had similar incomes, black-owned homes were valued at 18% less than white-owned homes. The 100 metropolitan areas were home to 58% of all whites and 63% of all blacks in the country.

Bangert: Alting gets dose of ‘Periods for Pence’
Sen. Ron Alting said his office expected to field calls about his vote on House Bill 1337, Indiana’s controversial new restrictions on abortion. But was Alting’s staff prepared for women to call and report their menstrual cycles to the Lafayette Republican?
“No, of course not,” Alting said Monday afternoon.
For the past week, Hoosier women have joined the trolling protest of “Periods for Pence,” a social media movement that has drummed up more than 16,000 likes since its Facebook page was created March 28. The upshot: They have been bombarding operators in Gov. Mike Pence’s office, offering mocking updates on their cycles and asking for advice on what to do at that time of the month – all in response to provisions in House Bill 1337, which Pence signed into law March 24.
“…My favorite response was the woman who said, ‘Ma’am, I’m going to have to refer you to your doctor for those sorts of questions,’” Austin said. “I replied, ‘I would love to keep this between myself and my doctor, but unfortunately the government of the state of Indiana is making that impossible.’ … I think the main thing is that these decisions are private, and particularly in the case of miscarriage, are almost always traumatic enough without the state stepping in and adding further trauma to the mothers and families who are experiencing it. Can you imagine, losing a wanted child and having to bury or cremate the remains?”
