After reading "Jane Junn and Mai’a K. Davis Cross. Investigating Discrimination: Injustice against Women of Color in the Academy." I realized how difficult it is for women of color in colleges. It seems that people do not trust women of color, thinking that they are inherently lacking cohesion and ability, although women of color have made great achievements. In such a hostile environment, women of color should stop remaining silent and unite together to fight against injustice. The article also described how women of color in the college encountered injustice and discrimination in the process of job-seeking and promotion. White junior staff in colleges are more likely to get tenure positions than female Asian Americans. Female Asian American scholars are considered to be the group with the lowest ranking in the academic field. The unfair treatments they experience have been threatening their careers and even their health.
Just like in college, it is common that we do not have too many Asian American professors. White males account for the largest proportion of professors. When I see an Asian American professor, it will be in a Chinese or mathematics class. Often, males are also more likely to become company leaders. When some people think of female Asian Americans, they usually think that female Asian Americans' abilities are lower than others. However, I think that when female Asian Americans encounter unfair treatments, they should fight back rather than remaining silent. In this case, other people will gradually abandon their stereotypes over female Asian Americans. I think we should eliminate such stereotypes. Everyone is born equal. We should not discriminate or hold stereotypes against other people because of their skin colors.
My question is how do universities solve this problem?
