officially makes me love R.K. Milholland. While I dislike some of his comics due to crude humor, the way he bases anti-Elf prejudice on Historical anti-Chinese prejudice, and makes it work SEAMLESSLY, is genius. And shows socio-political awareness that most web-comic authors lack.
I'm glad to see some awareness of Asian American discrimination. Too often, we're thought of as "Model minorities" who can "work the system" and aren't *real* minorities like African or Latin-Americans. For all the complaints about Mexican migrant workers, they've never been outright banned from entering the US on an ethnic basis. Only Japanese and Chinese have suffered that indignity, in 1880 and 1910 respectively.
