Yun Han ASA002 A04 Week 3

In this week's reading "Introduction. "The Time to Fight Is Now: Asian American Women, Academia's Socially Engineered "Privileged Oppressed," Go Rogue," the author Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde and Wei Ming Dariotis summarize that high-educated Asian American women faced many challenges because of their race and gender. Although Asian Americans are thought to be a privileged group, Asian American Women are positioned poor in Academic hierarchy. Facing these inequalities, how to reform institutional policies and practices becomes an important issue. Asian American Women are always willing to fight for individual lives and the libration through education.

Asian American Women do significant contributions to education, participation, health and other kinds of fields. However, there is still difficult for them to solve the problem of racial and gender disparities. Discrimination based on gender and race is common in life. For example, it is common to see the requirement on the job advertisement says "only for male." People hold stereotype on males and females and believes they are good at different kinds of job because of the natural characteristic.

Question: When gender and race become the obstacles in life, how can people guarantee their own rights?
