    Why I hate Michael Chang. - By Huan Hsu - Slate Magazine

    I feel this writer's pain... it's hard to be an Asian minority in any non-traditional field without being seen as a good "Asian tennis player" or a good "Asian musician" - same holds for South Asians.

    Quoted: In June 1989, a 17-year-old named Michael Chang defeated Stefan Edberg in the French Open final to become the youngest men's Grand Slam champion in history. But even if you allow that Chang influenced Chinese-Americans to participate in sports beyond the Academic Decathlon, he still shackled us with other stereotypes.
