That is, many respondents in a new survey couldn’t name a prominent Asian American person.
In fact, 42% of those polled replied “don’t know.” But two celebrities were named the most: Jackie Chan (with 11% of the responses) and Bruce Lee at 9%.
What do Lee and Chan have in common? They are both martial-arts experts. And note that Lee died in 1973.
Another intriguing result of the poll is that the ”don’t know” answer crossed a broad spectrum of racial lines: White, Black, Hispanic.
What about Andrew Yang for an answer? He only ran for president of the United States just last year. Now, he’s running for mayor of New York, the largest city in the country.
