food network: yes asian food... no asian people?


As someone who watches a fair amount of the Food Network, I found this video kind of amusing, though also kind of annoying. It does ask a rather interesting question: Where are Food Network's Asian Girls and Boys?

Seriously, what gives? There's an awful lot programming about different Asian dishes and cuisines... and yet there's rarely an Asian face on the actual programming. They seem to love Asian cooking... as long as it's prepared by Caucasians. Come on! At least give us some Ming Tsai!
