      Peter and Yen I doubt it would inspire other ethnicities it only inspires us Asians when we see an up-and-coming Asian rapper or singer we get excited or someone in sports we get excited like Jeremy Lin for an example. Only we can be relate because we are Asians. I can’t relate to two Chainz young thug etc. because they aren’t Asian I can only relate to their music just an example but not how they are

    This was well done. He’s an interesting young man. I would’ve like to have known more about his personal life. Does he want to get married and have kids? What kind of parent would he be, given his experience with his own dad? As for his problems with the TV show, I don’t think any writer likes the way their work has been adapted for the stage or screen, but that doesn’t stop them from cashing the checks.

    Well made documentary. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Eddies Street cred, despite being a huge fan of his work and hustle. I grew up a 4th generation immigrant of the US, grew up with way less opportunity. Cry me a river there was no diversity in Orlando from the 5,000 sq ft house grew up in. Try I sleep in a sleeping bag in somebody’s living room with the rest of my family and everybody thinks I’m racist because I’m a white male. GTFO Eddie, you think you have a handle on what America needs, go enlist. Great guy, bad perspective.

    Most of the abuse done to immigrants is by immigrate parents, if they where in their home country they could tell their grand parents or other extended families about it but because they are now cut of from that its sort of ever man for them selves. Best solution to this problem is stay in your home country, the problem is most immigrants are rejects probably personality disorders of one kind or another hence the abuse.
