Found an interesting blog post...it asks the question "What if Jeremy Lin wasn't Asian?" (http://www.8asians.com/2012/02/08/what-if-jeremy-lin-weren t-asian/)
The writer comments about whether Americans would be so intrigued by Lin if he wasn't Asian. Lin is defying numerous Asian stereotypes as he continues his success with the Knicks, yet he is still dealing with stereoypes in many ways, even just based on the simple fact that many people are following him to see when he fails so they can jump all over it. Thoughts?
