Yes, my title does rhyme and does refer to me. At a football pep rally last autumn, I was introduced as The Asian Sensation, mainly because they really couldn’t think of anything better.
Ya know there are loads of Asians in America nowadays. On the first of this month, statistics were released that state the Asian American population increased by 434,000 to become 5% of the nation’s entire population, and are now totalling 15.2 million! Exciting, right? That may be the first time I’ve given actual percentages and statistics (US Census). “Oh, here’s a fun fact: You made out with your sister, man!!” Haha!! Please appreciate the Eurotrip quote, it’s the funniest part of the entire blog entry. The actual fact I wanted to present is that in 2005, the average income per household is highest in Asian households than in any other racial group. Okay why the heck am I throwing out this data? Well for one, it helps my blog stay a little more on track since I tend to just rant for long periods of time… But not this time!! The point is, those millions of people are who Admerasia targets at this time and that high average income is what we want to get them to use (for our clients).
Actually at this time, Admerasia is trying to move more multiculturally in attempt to expand business. They’re now spreading, mainly to the Eastern European areas, but are really willing to try any sort of new language and style, which is pretty cool.
I’d like to take a moment to mention some Asian sports players. It’s always cool to hear about successful Asian players in “non-asian” sports. Hideki Matsui, Ichiro Suzuki and many others have dominated American Baseball, while Yao Ming and a couple of others have made an impact in the NBA. Ji-Sung Park starts for Manchester United. I have yet to really hear of a truly Asian NFL player, but like the other sports, with a little bit of time and training I’m sure we’ll hear of some really good players in that sport as well. Oh, there’s Kwan Ng of the Greenwich High School Varsity Football Team… Sound familiar? That’s ’cause that’s me, ya sillay goose!!
