Kwon, Yul
Winner of Survivor: Cook Islands
George: You’ve been spreading awareness of Asian American issues. Even though you’re out there trying to bring out these issues in our communities, do you think that people are actually “getting it?”
Yul Kwon: If you want to fundamentally change perceptions and stereotypes about Asian Americans in this country, you have to go where people are watching. You have to go into the broa5der mainstream. That’s ultimately why I went on the reality show. Reality shows are often very cheesy, but the fact is, millions of people watch these shows, and it’s not just Asian Americans, it’s people in the broader community. I do feel that we have to serve the community and work within the community, but also try to change perceptions by targeting the broader mainstream.

Lee, Benson
Director, Planet B-Boy
 William: You mentioned on an interview on indiewire.com that “a good documentary helps you see the world differently,” and that you wanted to make a movie “that strikes a chord that everyone can relate to.” How does Planet B-Boy do this?
Benson Lee: It shows that what most people understand about hip-hop culture in general is based on what the media feeds them, which is fed by the music industry. It’s run by people who obviously are more concerned about music sales than authentically representing this culture. We show that there are a lot of people out there in hip-hop around the world who love hip-hop because it provides a form of self expression for them which is an alternative– an option for them– because they don’t subscribe to the more traditional dance forms… maybe the more traditional music genres… or art for that matter. They like hip-hop music. They like hip-hop culture. It’s a street culture.

Mui, Peter
Founder and President of www.yellowman.com
 YellowMan founder, Peter Mui, started the concept of YellowMan under that premise that skin color should never be a barrier against social status. He should know. Chinese blood, and Oklahoma native, his identity breaks all the usual cultural stereotypes. He's true to all dimensions of his identity, proudly exuding his Chinese heritage on one side and down-home country singer on the other. Tall, broad-shouldered, and overflowing with confidence, Peter Mui can not be packaged into any preconceived category.
And so it is that he thumbs his nose on the derrogatory label "Yellow," and instead declares it a badge of integrity and pride for those who dare to be different.
