 ::Really? I recall that many articles of ""minorities"" in America (like Tila Nguyen and Lucy Liu) used to state that. For example, in Tila Nguyen's article they first called her a Vietnamese-American. In time, it was explained in her early life that her parents were immigrants of Vietnam to the US. It is not a secret that Tila is Vietnamese; she has referenced this on MySpace and Twitter. But eventually, it was established that ethnicity should not be included in the lead. This is something I have also noticed scrapped from most articles. Same for Lucy Liu. Rather than calling her Chinese/Taiwanese American or whatever, as she has referred to herself, they dubbed her an American actress. ★★ "
