This week’s reading is the introduction of Fight the Tower, which illustrates the main ideas of each chapter of the entire book. The discrimination of Asian American women is a social issue caused by socially engineering and oppressing. In order to solve and alleviate this problem, people need to explore the cause and the process of barriers’ formation. Before reading this book, I never know that there is discrimination in academia since scholars should believe in fairness and be respect to everyone. Nevertheless, the truth is that Asian American women have healthy problems because they have too much pressure in academia. Under the socially engineered structure, Asian women are just like the buffer between white elites and people who are enslaved by the white. Actually, it is obviously unfair to judge competence off people based on their races for there is a certain proper percentage of elites in all various races.
The author wants to tell the entire academia that Asian American women are not always passive and obey other people’s unfair instructions without resisting. Asian American women also have desires and sufficient abilities to prove and advocate for themselves. The premise of applying any specific thing to break the barrier is to awaken themselves and their colleagues and get united to find methods to make new tools. I assert that the audience of this book should not only be Asian Americans or people in academia, and every single member in high-level education could also become an audience because every student and faculty in school should accept the concept of diversity in their campus. If in the high schools and universities all students and faculties can get along with each other from inner heart, I believe academia could become more peaceful and corporately.
