South Asian woman culturally appropriating long nails Proudly Calls Black Woman the N-Word Nine Times In Viral Video, Reportedly Unconsolable After Being Exposed; Now Faces Hate Crime Investigation
[Good.]
Often cited by many vloggers and mistaken for being Manila, BGC has been criticized for being "car-centric, exclusive, and decorative."
"It’s easy if you have your own vehicle or can afford a ride-hailing app. But for the majority who don’t — those who serve, clean, cook, guard, and support this ecosystem — it’s long, exposed walks to reach the nearest public transport."

This stylish wine bar in Nairn is serving up a creative small-plates menu inspired by South East Asian and Middle Eastern flavours.
They recommend two or three plates per person and these come when they are ready, so works best if you are dining with folk you can share with.
Plates are dainty, flavourful and interesting. The menu updates regularly, but you’ll see similar dishes to those pictured below. Our favourites were the crispy Peking aubergine, a delicious chickpea and vegetable kofta served with dal (apologies, I ate it too fast to take a photo!), and bonus points for a proper vegan dessert with sticky toffee pudding.
As it is a wine bar, they offer a great choice of wines and their wine flights are a fun way to sample a selection.
You do need to check the allergens menu on their website to see vegan items, which is a little laborious. But it is good to see they’ve taken the trouble to produce a proper allergen menu, and gave me confidence in knowing which dishes were vegan. If you did visit without checking options, the staff were genuinely helpful, positive and informed. When we visited the chef adapted a vegetarian dish, making up a sauce for us so it could be vegan.
One One Two is unsurprisingly popular, so booking well in advance recommended.

#Race information disappeared on #OPM site that displays #statistics for public on 2.3M #federalemployees. For decades OPM has provided #Congress federal agencies, #academics w personnel data that helped shape #policies, #funding and #staffing decisions. Without the race information, those groups will not be able to easily track how #Trump’s workforce cuts affect minority race groups, including #Black and #Asian employees, #academics said. #censorship #discrimination #government #maga #politics
A key revelation of the study was the heavily disproportionate attention, bordering on obsession in some cases, given to white, female converts to Islam by both the Muslim and non-Muslim communities

I just watched the newly released #TheWeddingBanquet (2025) at my local #AMC.
This #movie is NOT a sequel NOR a remake of the original #film of the same name -- #TheWeddingBanquet (1993) which was produced & directed by #AngLee.
It is an entirely different movie based on an entirely different plot which is only very loosely based on the original.
Without giving away too much, I'd characterize the new movie as a #gay
#Asian version of #ModernFamily (which only had 1 gay white couple among many other characters in it) which demonstrates all the same conflicts & insecurities & problems that all couples go thru, whether they are gay, straight or whatever.
Life is complicated & it is no less complicated (& perhaps even more complicated) for gay folks.
I liked it and would give it a 7 out of 10 which is same that I'd give for the original. I already have a copy of the original on #DVD in my collection & will buy a DVD of the new movie if & when it's ever released.

Health groups urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to revoke the PH's nomination to lead the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA), citing serious concerns about the country's recent engagements with the tobacco industry.

The highest ranked Filipino tennis player Alex Eala (no. 73) opens up about the challenges of holding a weak PH passport (visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to only 69 countries and territories).
Australia, Paris, London, and the United States—where the 4 major Grand Slams are held—require a visa for the 19-year-old tennis sensation. Visa fees for Filipinos can cost $150 or more, and often non-refundable.

BINI fans (called Blooms) commenting that the girl group's new all-English EP is not getting as much attention as their Tagalog language songs like "Pantropiko" and "Salamin, Salamin." They believe the decision of BINI's management to produce English songs to cater to an international audience was the wrong move.
In PH volleyball, Jema Galanza showed grit to keep Creamline's hopes alive in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference Finals. Creamline beat Petro Gazz in 5 sets 25-15, 16-25, 25-21, 15-25, 15-9.
Galanza scored 13 points in the win and played a crucial role in keeping her team's championship dream alive, forcing a winner-take-all Game 3 against the Petro Gazz Angels on Saturday.

I’m not one for looking at #StockMarket prices on a daily basis but I notice that the #European and #Asian markets are all up but the #US one is down again. I’m not sure what to read in to that. Probably nothing as the US markets are still open and one day doesn’t mean much.
I'm #Asian & I'm #AmericanBorn (3rd gen) & I'm a retired #Cop & #Lawyer.
My roots in the US go back to the 1880's. None the less, I carry my #PassportCard with me at all times.
