Thursday’s episode of A Million Little Things was so heavy-handed in pushing the latest cause-de-jour (“Stop APPI Hate”) that the entire episode played out more like one giant PSA on a supposed “epidemic” of hate and violence towards Asian Americans, with whites and Trump to blame, of course, despite strong evidence to the contrary.
In “The Price of Admission,” Asian character Kathryn (Grace Park) walks into her son Theo’s (Tristan Byon) bedroom to find him sitting at his computer wearing a mask while being taught via distance learning. A white, male classmate (because, of course) named Conner told Theo that if he doesn’t wear his mask, he’s going to make everyone in the class sick. Theo naively believes him until Kathryn tells him it’s not true and demands he take his mask off.
Kathryn complains to Theo’s father Eddie (David Gluntoli) that it happened because Theo is Asian, despite having absolutely no evidence to support her assumption other than the need to advance an agenda. When Eddie asks if she’s sure, she goes even further, saying, “Yes, I’m sure. [Conner] probably heard it at home.” She adds, “I mean, his [Theo’s] whole life, we’ve been trying to protect him from what’s going on in the world, and now it’s coming right into his bedroom.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
