The Afro Asian Connection is prevalent in today's 'Pop Culture' as evidenced throughout the sports and entertainment worlds

Tiger Woods is probably more responsible for bridging the gap between the African American and Asian cultures than anyone by virtue of his tremendous success in the Golf world. He is the bi-product of an African American father and his mother who is a native of Thailand.

Hines Ward is another high profile athlete who is of African American and Asian decent. He is one of the top wide receivers playing for the National Football League's Pittsburgh Steelers.

Brian Clay is another athlete of African American and Asian Decent. Brian was crowned the Olympic Champion in 2008 in the Decathlon.

This Afro Asian connection thing that we talk about is not a new phenomenon. The merging of these two dynamic cultures has been occurring for many generations, but it isn't necessarily something that is at the forefront of our minds. Truly, something to think about.
