It’s pretty racist, but sometimes it’s true. Cheers to reinforcing that stereotype, in a feature I call “I Look Like Asian People”.

The parallels to me and Osamu Tezuka are pretty close. Osamu is a Japanese cartoonist best known for creating AstroBoy. Though he is Japanese and I am Vietnamese, it is quite uncanny that we both wear glasses and wear black hats. Ofcourse, his is a beret and mine is not. Thanks to Zach Bassett for making the connection!

Do you have any Asian friends? They probably look like me! Send any photos you have of them to me at jeremywinsagainATgmailDOTcom. If you DON’T have Asian friends, snap some photos of some Asians you see on the street. Chances are they look like me, too!
