As a child the family was watching a MASH episode which featured a traditional Korean wedding. One character was reverently describing the service when Mom and Dad started cracking up. Finally Dad said, “I don’t recognize any of this.” Thus continued another misunderstanding about Asians in America. When Valerie Downs, the AD for Teaching Tolerance Magazine asked for a special illustration about Asian Americans as the invisible Americans, I jumped at the chance.
Few years ago I went to a Korean wedding. It was nothing like MASH.
