After reading “Fight the Tower”, I see lots of injustice and discrimination that I do not notice or realize. Actually this issue has existed for a very long time like starting from Asian people coming to this land and it is a historical problem. Many Asian Americans faces difficulties when they are looking for entering college because of their color. Even if they go to the college, they can only do some basic or tedious work. High-level administrators are not from faculty pool but from a certain criteria. Even there is a large percentage of Asian Americans have a high-degree education. They still can not get a good job or a equal treatment as other native Americans.
From my perspective, racism is a very ridiculous thing. They treat people upon their color or even where their parents coming from. Actually it will prevent the society to progress. As the author said that there are lots of Asians who get a master or doctor degree but can not enter the college. Instead they chose people most upon their background but not education. And this must make the system of the college very inefficiently. Students and all faculties even may affected by that. Moreover, this situation does not only happen in the college but all over the society. People use color or race as their standard to judge a people. It must ignore many talents.
