there's no asian-american jesse jackson or al sharpton. and you might not like the strategies or styles of those two leaders, but you can bet anywhere in the united states, someone does something that's bad, that shows bias or prejudice toward african-americans, one of those two or someone else who's local will be boycotting, marching, will be on tv, will be given the opportunity to be on tv, will raise a fuss until something is done about that. asian-americans, what is our response? we just kind of smile and laugh nervously and blame ourselves and consent to it. and part of my message is, look, if -- if we just smile at people who are abusing us, they're going to think it's ok and just continue to do it. you know, wake up, stand up for yourself. c-span: where are your parents now? >> guest: my parents did something that -- that surprised me. i had no idea this would happen it sort of fits a stereotype, i suppose. my parents moved to taiwan about a year-and-a-half ago. my father worked for his entire life at ford, and he had a great opport
