Why the lack of yellow love for our founding fathers?

Recently (recently in this case being roughly a month ago) I ventured southward to Washington D.C. with my friend Curtis and his overly extended family, during which I happened to notice something I thought was a tad interesting. While it is somewhat close to impossible to travel for more than half a block in Philly or NYC without running into at least one gaggle of Asians, they are few and far between in our nation's capital. I'm now honestly curious: fellow Asians, was I merely at DC on an off day, and there are normally throngs of Chinese and other Asian people plaguing the city like locusts, or is it normally as I saw it, the only major city in our area that is largely Asian free? If so, why? Is it a dislike of our founding fathers, a dislike of the present political machine, an overall lack of interest in politics, a feeling of not belonging in a system that's fairly overwhelmingly white on the national level, just a lack of landmarks with lots of shiny modern technology like New York has, what? I'm really curious about this. Speaking just for myself, this is the first time I've been down there since at least high school, so it's hardly as if I'm any kind of USA A-OK fanatic that must visit once a month for fear of turning to dust or anything, so I'm hardly one to condemn, but it was a rather curious contrast to every other big city I've been to in the past several years (this includes L.A., even though that's obviously nowhere near where we live).

So; theories, suppositions, and baseless accusations, let's hear 'em.

What should I do for my 30 day weekend?

So I've got a month off of work, and am looking at ways to fill up that time. I have my usual assortment of movies and books that are shipping to me periodically from Amazon, but I need more than that to take up an entire month's time, and that's where all of you brave young souls come in with ideas and helpful hints. So far here's what I've got on my To-Do list:

1) Finish cleaning up my mp3 player
2) Write up a resume and start shipping that bad boy around
3) Begin writing the next Great American Novel (already begun, if only barely)
4) Go to Caroline's with Shana (hopefully next week, as Jim Norton is playing there then)
5) Find true love
6) Finish a book each week
7) Robot arms

As you can see, I am not the best for normal person ideas, so hop to it, people. I need proper goals, or I drift into madness.
