After reading the article, “Precariously Positioned: Asian American Women Students’ Negotiating Power in Academia”, I learned that we need to stand out and fight for ourselves to protect our rights when we are treated unequally. Silence makes us vulnerable and makes other people think we are weak and easily bullied. Due to gender and race discrimination, Asian American women students are always facing unequal treatment in academia. Under the compression and the control, there should be someone to stand up to face those in power. However, we often need more than one person. A group of people can always give more power than one person. Every Asian American woman should stand out and fight for their rights. They should know that everyone has the responsibility to protect their rights and needs within the academy. The more people stand out, the more those in power are afraid. This is one of the reasons that we need to form organizations to help each other. Through working together, we can make our life better. And our children will be spared the pain.
Question: Are there some well-known organizations that helps Asian Americans in the United States?
