I totally agree...Thanks for mentioning me, Deborah! I totally agree with you about the use of stereotypes--or stereotypes which aren't even correct! It was one of the reasons I write about Asian Americans in my books--not overseas Asians or even second generation Asian Americans, but 3rd, 4th, 5th generation AAs. The AA subculture--and especially the Christian Asian American subculture--is both different and yet the same as other ethnicities, I think.<br /><br />I got to explore it a bit more for my next book coming out next year in May. I have a Japanese American dog trainer who clashes with a Caucasian Southern boy from Louisiana! Don't you think that's cool? I had a lot of fun writing it. The funny part was, I discovered that Southern families are a lot like Asian families in many ways.<br /><br />CamyCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790591988777275651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33053817.post-2351944884993026222009-08-02T01:04:19.961-04:002009-08-02T01:04:19.961-04:00When The Winds of Sonoma came out in 2005 it was c...When The Winds of Sonoma came out in 2005 it was considered edgy because the hero was a Mexican who cleaned the stalls of the Caucasian heroine's Arabian horses. The romance was between a man and a woman of two different races and social classes. The book has won many awards. It recently went out of print and I just reissued it myself.
