yes, finally. a letter to the editor of hyphen. haha.

Dear Hyphen editor,

I must say I had never heard of Hyphen before I took an Asian American studies class at school nor did I care too much about Asian American culture but it’s very nice to see that there’s a group out there taking an interest in our well being and putting it out there for the world to read. We were assigned to read different issues of your magazine and I had read the Hybrid Issue. Although the articles were interesting as usual, I felt that the title of the issue was a bit off. There were some main articles about hybridization between relationships of two different kinds of ethnicities but then there were some articles that seemed to be out of place. For example, the article titled “One Fine (Three) Days” that talks about an Indian woman marrying an American man three times follows the issues main idea of hybridization very well. As far as some articles like “Asian is the New Black” about asian fashion designers and models didn’t seem to strike me as very “hybrid”. But, despite this specific issue, I find your magazine to be interesting to read and something I can relate to.
