Shiting Yu A02 Week2

After reading " Prologue: Taking Actions: Asian American Faculty Against Injustice in the Academy," the author illustrates that Asian American suffers from unfair discrimination in the society. She also said that "Asian Americans are stereotyped as hard workers, high achievers, and economically successful." However, it is wrong for anyone to have these kinds of stereotype for anyone because most of time these stereotype will influence our thoughts for anyone. 
At the same time, I am also appreciated that those Asian American take actions to fight back. Like many years ago, the famous speech" I have a dream" allows Black people to have more equal rights as White people. Because they did not tolerate for these discrimination, they did not have any obvious discriminations. For many years ago, these Asian American just lived in China Town. They did not have any contact with outside world. For some discrimination, they were used to tolerate for it. They are not dare to speak for themselves.
However, I think the most useful way to change the current situation of discrimination for Asian American is to fight back. When Asian American are treated unfairly, we should not wait someone else to change this situation. We can do it ourselves.
