Helpless Asian Teen Attacked and Jumped By 7 Others Behind School

A disturbing video is going viral on MLK Day. Attackers video taped their assault on an Asian teenager in Chicago. Seven teenagers surround and mercilessly punch and kick a lone teenager making his face a complete bloody mess. This isn’t the dream that Martin Luther King Jr. had.

The original video has been deleted, but mirror videos are popping up all over YouTube. Early reports show that some of the attackers were white and others were Asian. The reason for this fight is still unclear. Hopefully justice will be served quickly.

Update: The attack happened around 4 pm in an alley in the 2800 block of South Princeton Avenue, just south of Chinatown.. The 17-year-old boy assaulted in the video was robbed of $180. Police report that the attack is a retaliation for a previous assault.

update: Looks like a case of Marie Curie Metropolitan High School vs Thomas Kelly High School.

I Have A Dream with PK

It’s a little early for MLK weekend, but comedian PK has a dream for all Asian Americas. He busts up the Asian stereotypes we’re all fed up with. Nothing is off limits in his dream world. Everything from math to Asian parents to true love is addressed.

In case anyone trips, here’s a message from PK:

Martin Luther King is one of heroes. He taught me to dream big and make a difference and that’s what I try to do with my stand up and involvement with the community. He was one of the most inspirational figures that has ever walked this planet.

Let’s get to this new Asian America…My Asian Americana.
