it's the first major sitcom about an Asian-American family.
Actually no, if you mean on US television, it's not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-American_Girl_(1994_TV_series) All-American Girl is a 1994 ABC situation comedy starring Margaret Cho and featuring Jodi Long, Clyde Kusatsu, Amy Hill, B.D. Wong, and J.B. Quon as her Korean-American family. It is the second American sitcom centered on a person of Asian descent (Korean), namely Cho. (Pat Morita's short-lived 1976 sitcom Mr. T and Tina was the first.)
I'm still a little puzzled by the use of the term "trojan horse" in this context. Is that a slangy way of using it that's current in academia? The trojan horse was a weapon of war and the phrase is still used to mean a dangerous trick that allows infiltration. The greeks used it to decimate Troy - just as whites have decimated peoples around the world for centuries, so maybe not the connection you were trying to evoke.
