I know what you want right now: a comic strip with Asian American flare. This comic series, titled Secret Asian Man by Tak Toyoshima, depicts (with humor!) his encounter with eHarmony ads showing couples that were heterosexually and racially matched. Eric McKinley filed a suit against eHarmony in 2005 for failing to provide a same-sex match option. It made sense that there wasn't this option, seeing as the site was created by evangelical Christian Dr. Neil Clark Warren and tied in with Focus on the Family, a religious conservative group. He launched a separate site called Compatible Partners: "The site for long-term committed relationships" to avoid a lawsuit. He probably wanted the everybody else's off on a separate site so he could keep his original idea with only the people he wants in it.
Tak Toyoshima blogs about events, issues, technology, and everything else in between. He draws comics when the mood strikes him, and is pretty well known for the series. He also has drawn a cover for AsianWeek, which has long promoted Asian American artists, as shown below.
