Asian festival

The hubster and I went to the Asian festival in Columbus today and I have to say I was fairly disappointed. There were long lines at the food vendors because they were so freaking inefficient when taking orders and preparing food. They put Asians to shame. We had Korean bulgogi, teriyaki chicken, and some skewers. It was ok.

The biggest surprise of the day was this:



Can you see what's wrong in this picture?

It's kinda hard to see, but every person under the dragon was WHITE! I'm sorry, but where are all the Asians at the Asian festival? Working the food booths? Everyone is free to learn about Asian culture, but for fucks sake, you'd think there would be one non caucasian under there.

Another thing is that there were a lot of African American volunteers at the festival. For an Asian festival, there was a surprising lack of representation. I guess thats what you get in the Midwest.
