Jeremy Looks like Asian People: Andrew Yip
Saturday, June 5th, 2010There’s a stereotype going around that all Asians look the same. It’s pretty racist, but sometimes it’s true. Cheers to reinforcing that stereotype, in a feature I call “I Look Like Asian People”.
This one is way too uncanny. I only know of Andrew Yip through my friend Sam Wolfe Connelly. Sam says I am the Savannah knock-off to his Virginia original. What’s even weirder is that Andrew Yip does stand-up comedy. Taking it into an even weirder level is that he seems to be influenced by Demetri Martin’s “Visual Aid” humor, and includes jokes that are drawings (like me!).
He’s based in D.C., so if ever I do comedy up there, I hope the clubs don’t introduce me as him. But somehow I think it might be better to be him than myself. It should also be noted that Andrew Yip has a photography doppelganger. Which is weird, because I, Jeremy Nguyen, have a photography doppelganger, too. I’ve said it so many times, but I must defeat Andrew Yip and gain his powers like Jet Li does in the movie, “The One”.
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!
