Section 1
Week 4
After reading “The Impact of Wen Ho Lee Case on Asian
Americans”, I was extremely surprised to read about the FBI admitting to being
taught to use racial profiling in their job. Wen Ho Lee’s case showed me that
there is still discrimination in this society even though there is supposed to
be equal rights and no segregation. After reading this piece of writing, I was
a little frightened because I realized that no matter how Americanized an Asian
American is, they can never pass through racial barriers because of their
physical appearances and race. To a certain extent, the society will continue
to discriminate other races such as Asian Americans and I think the reason for
this is because of the competition to become the best and most powerful. In
this reading, Wen Ho Lee was accused of giving information on nuclear bombs to
China and this became a huge issue because every country is fighting to be the
most powerful in the world to this day. If people can just learn to live
peacefully without having to compete all the time, then there wouldn't be such discrimination.
The question for this reading is: Why are the FBI taught to use racial
profiling and is it just?
