Yeah, right there.
- What? Why are you in the back? [mumbling]

You're so much better than them. - Well, I appreciate that. - Hey, you ready to go? - Yeah, let me just show this routine

to the guys real quick. - All right. - Yeah

Hey! - Hey, there's my star student. I was hoping you'd join in on a routine today

Probably best not to do that anymore. Don't want to set the bar too high. - Okay [laugh]

Hey, I told you to call me Kalina! I'm not your history teacher.

Your last name Zota? - Yeah, my dad's Japanese... What, you couldn't tell?

Honestly, not really. - Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm not really into my Japanese side of the family.

Okay, so that's why you're teaching a bunch of kids that are Asian to dance, get back to your roots!

Right, actually hip hop does have its origins in feudal Japan.

I, I would believe you. - I know, but if you want my history lesson, see you next week? - Sounds good. - Okay

Gosh! - Are you here to pick me up or flirt with my dance instructor? - Oh now you're ready. Grab your stuff. Let's go

Hey Tess, you wanted to see me. - Oh, yes have a seat.

So, as you know, next month is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Oh! Yeah, I thought you said- Right, of course! [nervous laughter]

Great well, um, I just wanted, you to know, that I am really supportive of it

And and actually, we want to do something really special here at Silo. - That's great!

Thanks... - Also, I noticed that you have a lot of Chinese friends in the office

So, I was thinking, if I gave you a budget could you put together some sort of like, special event or a party to celebrate?

Uh, yeah, I guess so. Um, uh, what's the budget?

Um, $500. [totally going to get stuff done with this]

Cool. Yeah, I think you could round us up

For your heritage and everything that it brings to Silo.

Celebrate Asians, celebrate Asians. [intense thinking]

Open bar, obviously. Johny Walker, Hennessy, Soju...

It's our entire budget right there, dang. Hey Andre real quick. Um Tess just asked me to plan the Asian Heritage Month event

Yeah, uh, duh? You didn't, you didn't know? It's May, you know. Anyways, back in February

Didn't you help plan the event for Black History Month? - Yeah, man. It was awesome. [laugh] - Sick, was it lit?

Right! No, of course, Black History Month is super awesome. I was... - Dude. I'm kidding. Ha, it was lit as f*ck!

Do not support our history. - No, no, no. No, I I probably just didn't get the email. That's probably what happened. - Dude, I'm kidding

Luther's? That place is super fancy. Didn't that eat up your entire budget?

Nah, we had like five thousand dollars, which is actually cut down from previous years. I'm telling you man,

whatever old white folks they got award last see we're at the Beverly Hilton.

This next year they're gonna try to throw some faculty...

Um, I was running some of the numbers for the APA event and also asking some other groups here.

Just wondering, is there a reason why we're being allocated

$500 when Black History Month got ten times that amount?

Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought I was being more sensitive.

Um, more sensitive to what? Oh, to to your different cultures.

You see, um, David Kim actually came in here and he asked about the event, and he was like, wait a minute,

you know, the Korean American engineers group, they need their own budget. And then actually, Puja from the South Asian coalition was like,

hold on, what about us? We need our own budget. And then from there, I was just pretty much approached by everybody

I mean AJ from the Filipino group, Kindy from Hong Kong Association. I mean gosh, [laugh]

There are so many Asian groups here at Silo!

So I had to divide the budget up, but I thought that you, specifically, could reach out to the Chinese Americans.

[sigh] David, why are you taking part of the APA Heritage Month budget for the Koreans? - Dude, we have our own history in this country.

Koreans always do this whenever there's an Asian event. You guys always gotta make your own thing. - Clear pride, b*tch.

You want me to give you part of my budget? - No not part... all...

Well, Hong Kong has its own unique identity from mainland China. - But it doesn't matter we're still...

Lets leave the politics out of this. Its Asian American History Month! - Asian Pacific.

And I think it's heritage not history. - Whatever,

okay, this is getting so confusing. - Telling me. I feel like we're having grouped into Asian American

That's why they need to add the, "Pacific." - But it's still Asian!

We have to put a South in front of us for you to include us. - Let's just combine budgets and everyone can be celebrated.

I actually think we should have our own month. You do know that by population, we are almost the same as China.

Wonder if anyone's pushing for that in Congress

Okay, so if Indian people are included, then why not Russians or the Middle East? I mean that's all technically Asia, right?

Oh my god, I do not know. I spent like an hour on Reddit and I couldn't make it past all the racist comments.

Half of you should find out too. - I'm guessing it is more to do with ethnic heritage than what continent people live on?

That makes sense. Whatever it is it should not be this confusing or this divisive.

I wish Asian people could be as united as black people.

Well, we have a very different history here

You know my friend Tom said the same thing. He's like

Asian people are fragmented in the US because we have different histories

Chinese people, Japanese, Vietnamese, whatever, like we all came to America for very different reasons and therefore had very different struggles.

We lacked one common struggle unlike black people.

Right cuz we're so lucky we had slavery. - I think it's also because our homelands hate each other.

Andrew why are you getting so worked up about this? Even you admitted

you didn't know about Asian Heritage Month until your white boss told you yesterday.

I'm upset at myself, for not knowing. I'm

upset at other Asians who did know, for not spreading the word and more awareness, and I'm upset at my

co-workers for all being little b*tches fighting over crumbs.

Unless we band together, we're never going to be taken seriously at my company.

Well as much as I want to write the Asian-American Constitution with you, I gotta go.
