Article lambasts people for not being able to name a "famous living asian-american" then proceeds to not provide a list of any. So, show us all how stupid we are and give us a list so we can say "how could I forget XX". Unless you can't.

Amy Tan wrote the Joy Luck Club, which was made into a really popular movie in the 1990's. I'm not sure she meets their criteria of "famous", but she's the only one I can think of. Oh, and the chick that was in Agents of Shield and the Mandalorian, Ming-Na Wen, but I had to look her name up, so I guess I don't get credit for her.

Why is everyone forgetting the real Asian American celebrity, Aziz Ansari

Is he Indian? Most people who think Asian think of China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan and not India. If we go by continent then 97% of Turkey is asian but I doubt that Erdogan pops to anyone mind when they think of asians.

Probably because his character on Parks and Rec was forgettable.

Though I will admit to understanding the "more shapes!" bit. And it was a similar type of epiphany where I saw some random piece of abstract art on someone's wall that for some reason really spoke to me.
