Netflix’s ‘Beef’ shatters so much of what we, as Asian Americans, were taught about holding in our rage.
eloquently put it, throws “us straight into the trenches of modern American malaise.” But to me, the most glorious and simple pleasure of watching “Beef”begins with a seemingly routine road rage incident: A frustrated guy in a pickup truck backs out of a parking space and almost hits a passing car driven by another stressed-out person . There is honking and yelling and a middle finger. Cho decides to drive after Lau and the two end up chasing each other through suburbia.
On a cultural level, though, there’s also a sense that if we get too caught up in our own emotions, regardless of whether they stem from love or rage, we’re bound to set ourselves back. I remember how my mom would interrupt any hints of my anger whenever they arose. If I complained about something, she’d tell me to ignore it and just move on. Dwelling on emotions was useless. Being angry, she’d tell me, hurt no one except myself.
. It’s dishonest and flattening, and ignores the complexity of our emotions, and I don’t think it’s going to move us forward. We also live in a time when, which finally awakened many of us to stand up, take to the streets and demand better. See, we can get mad, too.

Japan police arrest 2 in food prank at beef bowl dinerJapanese police have arrested two men who posted a video on social media showing one eating pickled ginger with his chopsticks directly from a communal container at a famous beef bowl restaurant chain. It follows a series of pranks that have hit sushi chains and became known as “sushi terrorism.” In the video, one of the men shovels ginger — a popular topping for beef bowls — from the container into his mouth instead of using an attached serving utensil to add ginger to his food. He and his friend admitted the charges of obstructing business and property destruction and told police they wanted to make people laugh. The restaurant chain said the prank caused discomfort to its customers.
