Eddie Huang People Quotations

I'm so sick of people misunderstanding Asians in America and what we're about.

People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.

I don't think people understand the model-minority stereotype is negative. You are boxed in. You have to untangle that to find your own path.

I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.

I want everybody to run at the same speed as me. But some people are more conscientious, they think more and they plan more. And they're more careful.

Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food.

I don't think people in America understand race, and how deep the hooks of whiteness there are in our consciousness.

I like being on camera, performing, seeing what people have in common.

I wanted to inspire people not to work under a bamboo ceiling. Whatever you are - yellow, black, white, brown - you don't have to allow your skin to define who you are or how you operate your business. There's not one face to anything.

Not only was I not white, to many people I wasn’t Asian either

People ask me what my greatest strengths are and I say perspective. The best way to get that is to meet people that are polar opposites; you learn the most from them. There are pieces of you that are inherently yours, but everything else is a collection of the things you’ve seen and the people you’ve met.
