The poem's main concern, I believe, is that the author wanted to share a message about her experience in
her workplace (academia). How race discrimination occurs, and that she is one of the victims. In the
poem, she referred to herself as "The Human-Mouse," considering the fact that she is a biologist. She
wanted justice by saying that no matter what your skin color is, whether it is black, yellow or brown,
we all could offer a meal with similar deliciousness and songs, art, and sonnets that are equally beautiful.
I was quite taken aback at how Asian American women are still being discriminated nowadays, especially
in the field of academia. I am a transfer student from a community college here in California and most
of my professors back then were Asian American. From what I know, Asian Americans are considered to
be hardworking and smart. That said, they should have been given the same privilege and should also be
treated equally no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity are. I would also like to address one
question; have there been any strikes made by the Asian Americans working in academia to obtain their
justice?
