Asia Bradford (GLEE’s Jenna Ushkowitz) was adopted from Korea by white people, so she doesn’t speak Korean. She apparently doesn’t speak New York either, because everyone seems to think she’s from somewhere else. “Stop asking me where I'm from! I get it .. I’m Yellow!” she angrily writes on her blog. It’s bad enough that everyone in New York seems to think she’s not American, but to top it all off, her “culturally sensitive,” whitebread parents decided to dress up in Korean hanboks for the annual Christmas card this year! No one gets her. So, where does she actually fit in if she feels like she doesn’t belong in her family, New York or her so-called “motherland?” Her salvation comes in an odd package - an "old ugly white dude," played by GILMORE GIRLS’ Scott Patterson, who's just moved back to New York after living in Korea for over a decade.
