Fight the Tower

Ryan Tom
ASA 2 - Sec 2
Week 2

I'm mind blown. I had no idea that this type of thing happened on our campus. I'm not surprised that politics play a role in our university, but I didn't realize the extent. I'm also shocked by the discrimination or hostility within ethnicity. I never thought there was an Asian American hierarchy. If anything, my interest is definitely peaked. And I have plenty of questions:

Does this happen to minorities in other departments?
Does this happen to people involved in the different centers on campus (CCC, ICC, etc.)?

I was surprised this happened within the Asian American department--I figured it would be "safer" too.

What would be the first step to changing things? How do we stop administrative bloat?

I need to re-read the paper and pay attention to all the footnotes too! But yeah, I'm INTERESTED.

I actually learned about the video below from Prof. Valverde's other blog she told us about in class. I felt it was relevant because of the bullying parts of the paper.
