Talk:Steve Aoki/Archives/2017

Ethnicity

Should he be listed as a Japanese-American artist or a plain American artist (of Japanese descent)? His parents are definitely Japanese and katakana names are not usually a sign of only being ethnically American. This would depend on his dad's ethnicity, right? Also, the article for his father Hiroaki Aoki states that he is a "Japanese-born American wrestler and restaurateur". This could be understood as him being Japanese and working as a wrestler in America specifically.

PS: Found this video where he explicitly states that he is a Japanese-American. Not sure we can find a better subject on the person than themselves, in case anyone has anything to contradict this.

The only americans are people natively american, the rest are British, after the native genocide this has become gruesome. 200 millions dead have a right to be remembered and respected along with their nation. Steve Aoki is Japanese period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.143.60.73 (talk) 01:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Steve Aoki Charitable Fund and Cryonics

"Steve Aoki Charitable Fund"

I think "Steve Aoki Charitable Fund" which is mentioned in the article is now Aoki Foundation. See: Facebook twitter.com/aokifoundation www.steveaokifund.com now forwards to www.steveaoki.com/foundation/ which says Aoki Foundation.

It may also be worth noting that Aoki Foundation has held charity events for SENS Research Foundation and Buck Institute for Research on Aging. See: Bowling for Brains.

Cryonics

Steve Aoki is signed up for cryonics with See: here. I believe that he is signed up with Alcor Life Extension Foundation.
