For those of you who are going to watch the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea here are a list of athletes to watch who are Asian American:

Figure Skating: Nathan Chen and Maia/Alex Shibutani

Short Track Speed Skating: J.R. Celski

Snowboarding: Chloe Kim

For those of you who are wondering if there are any other Asian American athletes, there was a college football player named Reggie Ho who was a key placekicker for the 1988 Notre Dame Championship team. There is a short documentary about him called Student/Athlete.

We should all know by now that the popular kid show, Power Ranger, is the American version of the Japanese series Super Sentai. There are a number of differences between the two though, but here are the main ones:

• I notice in the Super Sentai series blood is present
• There are 4 rangers that are American original
• Some of the storylines for the Power Ranger teams do not match up with their Japanese counterparts
• Super Sentai is much older than Power Rangers. Don’t believe me? Super Sentai has 41 total teams since 1975. Power Rangers has 20 or 21 depending on how you count Power Rangers Megaforce and Super Megaforce

The following does not contain the 41st Sentai team.

Those who enjoy alternate history tend to think how China could of been the first nation to discover America. If you had to choose, which Asian nation would most likely colonize the Americans next?

Can anybody name any American games that have Asian influence?

Does anybody know how many Asian Americans today identify themselves as Christian? Also for the ones who are not Christian, which religion do they follow?

Younghoe Koo was born in South Korea, but moved to the US with his mother when he entered sixth grade. When I first heard about him and his past I struggled to figure out if this football player counts as an Asian athlete or Asian American athlete. How would people define him based on all of this?
