  Week 5 blog
According to the week five reading material, “Precariously Positioned: Asian American Women Students’ Negotiating power of academic.’’ written by Shannon Deloso. According to the article, the author stated that ‘’As a first-generation college student and Asian American undergraduate woman student leader from a marginalized ethnic community (Filipina American), I and those like me are seen as having little voice to critique academic institutions. Due to gendered, racial, and ethnic biases, we are perceived as too passive and obedient to successfully enact structural change within the university.’’ I agree with the author's views, I think a lot of Americans have a lot of stereotypes about Asian Americans, such as no opinions, they look cute and It's quieter in the crowd. I think as most American citizens view Asian American Undergraduate women as a leader would not take them seriously. I think everyone is equal. We should not judge any people easily based on his/her skin. We should have the same attitude towards every race. 
As my question relates to this week’s reading, what should we do to make Asian Americans have more voices, more people to respect their views, and how to reduce stereotypes about Asian Americans?
