Asian Americans Talk About Politics, Sex, Religion, and More

Asian American Awareness Week kicked off today with “Obama and Asian America,” a discussion with Jay Bhatt, the guy who founded South Asians for Obama. Didn’t make it? Don’t worry, you didn’t miss the sexy part of the week:

MONDAY Asian American Female Sexuality Ticknor Lounge, 5 p.m. A dinner discussion with Lena Chen ’10 (don’t tell us you don’t know who she is), Christine Yu (an MIT student who talks about sex in her blog “Nerdy and Flirty”), and Vivien Wu ’08 (who, as far as we can tell, does not talk about sex in any blog).

Find out what else is scheduled after the jump.
