Asian American Faculty
There are lots of Asian American work in the university, and they don’t get equal treat as others. From the article “Exposing the Health Threats to Asian American Women Scholars in Academia” by Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde, Cara Maffini Pham and Melody Yee Jing Mai. The article sites that “An Asian American woman began her first week as an assistant professor by settling into her office when a stranger from the lab across the hallway asked if that was her room” it shows that people may only think Asian American women can only do easy work and being an assistant professor seems like a joke. That is just not right, everyone could be professor if he/she work hard enough, it’s meant to judge them by their look and ignore their great efforts. I really want to ask a question to the people who look down on Asian American women: Do you feel happy when someone say to you that you look too clumsy to be successful in your career?
