Lei Zhao: Self

Quotes 

• Lei Zhao : Not all Asians came in a box like this, I came to America on a plane... not in a box. I'm not here to make Nike shoes. I'm not here to do some shit like that. I'm here to learn and prosper.

• Lei Zhao : One stereotype people have about Asians is that they're gonna ace whatever math comes their way.

• Lei Zhao : [about the Asian math & science stereotype]  I exist, and I fail at math. I just suck at math. It doesn't matter if I'm Asian or not. You can suck at math and still be Asian.

• Lei Zhao : [about the way Asians are being portrayed in the media]  We can do more than kung-fu. We need to get out there. This is not our image. We are not Chuan-Pei Pi Pa Jelly Candy. We are something bigger than that.
