I want to be able to inspire the next kid, the young kid, to have somebody to look up to in a sense, that they can be this or be that. That was the biggest part for me—for Asian males specifically to not just be an Asian nerd or an Asian martial artist. I’ve had jobs as a server or bartender where they’ll assume that I’ll do the work and that I can be taken advantage of because they think we’re a subservient culture. There’s always that assumption and it sucks that that happens still to this day.
