CBS.com - Survivor Panama

CBS.com - Survivor Panama: "Bruce Kanegai is a third generation Japanese American who grew up in Los Angeles. During the 1960's, he received the Boy Scout rank of Eagle Scout and the rank of Black Belt from the Shotokan Karate School. Kanegai received his Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Northridge. He also received his teaching credentials for the State of California."

Angry Asian Man is the source of this tidbit of information that Asian America will be represented on the new Survivor. While the fact that he is a karate master may be almost a joke of a stereotypical APA profession, I imagine that as a 3rd Generation Japanese American, he will be disrupting some of America's preconcevied notions of who such a person is. I'm intrigued enough to try to watch. You never know...
