Child Seems To Know Ancient Art of Kung Fu

The Daily Kina

Kina is selected to stand on stage with visiting Chinese dance troupe, presumably (she says) because she is Asian.

I came home from work yesterday to find Kina engaged in an elaborate Kung Fu exhibition in our living room, having spent all of five minutes on stage with a local Kung Fu school. I’m not an expert in the form, but I would say that Kina has made considerable progress, given the extent of her training so far.

“They put me right in the middle,” she said proudly, “because I am Asian.”

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month from the girl you least want to sneak up on.

p.s. After fixing a glitch in payments, our little subscription drive to fix all of public education in the city of New York has jumped to FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS. This is a fantastic development. It is still the 22nd of May, and we have eight? nine? days to go! I’m kidding, of course, about the “all of public education” bit, but it’s exciting that you all care enough about Kina’s school and daily publication to lean in. Thank you.
