Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood. "I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too." Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.Binding Type: Paperback

Favorite White Tee
Size: Medium, Color: White 4-pack
Love these simple white tees. They don't shrink and are adequately sized. They wash well. My 6 year old loves them too. Light and comfortable. They can be dressed with jeans, shorts, work as an undershirt or pajama shirt. Favorite white tees for any outfit. Excellent priced. Great shirts overall.

Great for pajama shirts
Size: Large, Color: White 4-pack
Shirts are true to size. The material is soft and not too thin. We used these as pajama shirts for my preteen and he got a lot of use out of them.
Pro - cheap and well made
Con - they did shrink slightly after a few washes so the shirt is shorter. Didn’t impact our use though

Pay attention to the size chart
Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack, Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack
Good price for 2 undershirts. Retail price on the item packaging says $16.95. The shirts are thin and semi see-through but these are meant to be layered under another top. Have not washed yet but there's a good chance they will shrink a bit.
Had to return the first time because of inaccurate/unhelpful size chart. For reference, see the actual size chart on the product packaging (I attached to this review). Originally purchased a Medium for a 10yo average build child, it was too short. Large is the correct size.

X-small comparable to 2T
Size: X-Small, Color: White 2-pack
Got these for my 1.5 year old who fits in 2T pretty well, x small is perfect! They are so soft, a little thin but very happy with the quality
