Fangyu Long A03 Week2

In the readings, Shirley Hune go through the events in history of how the Asian Americans were treated in the schools and shared the struggling stories of faculty warriors, like Jew, Tung, and Wang, about how they fight for their works in the colleges. The fights against inequality are hard. In the history, many of the strikes and protests were ended in violence like the videos showed. However, I feel very touched that Asian Americans never stopped their fights for equality, and they formed associations and stayed together for each other. Shirley Hune

 is a third generation Chinese American, and the first member of her family to go to college. She stated that "Asian Americans experience with regularity, but the overall unwelcoming campus culture remains the primary problem.” (Shirley Hune

 p5) In my opinion, some of the problems may caused by the differences in cultures and personalities since many Asians like to cluster and form a closed friend zone and they prefer to stay quiet in class. However, other than that the inequality still remains. "Asian Americans are a historically disadvantaged racial minority group.”(Shirley Hune

 p3) I agree with this statement since many news on TVs and media reflect this cold hard truth recently about coronavirus. This situation does not only occur in academic areas but also the society as a whole. My question is how do the different Asian Americans associations in different areas respond to the coronavirus?
