Jeremy Lin tells it like it is

You might remember Jeremy Lin from his NBA “Linsanity” days.

He’s become as proficient at social justice as he’s been at basketball.  Lin repeatedly points out the Asian stereotypes that run rampant through our culture.  These spawn mockery concerning looks, as well as threats regarding the so-called “Chinese virus.”

Deadspin writer Eric Barrow points out that Lin’s not asking for anything outlandish, but merely “for people to listen, and preferably to be kind.”
