You are right. We Asians as a community are
understated:
“keep quiet, stay out of trouble.” I would like to
make
some noise, but I am uncertain of the consequences and
uncertain of whether this noise is the right way to
reach our goals. And what are these goals?
I would say it is less of putting down the racists and
more of being able to stand and accept our due
respect.
We may not have a lot of athletic or movie star role
models, but we are leaders of community and industry.
I think the racists attack us and put us down because
they are actually threatened by us. To borrow a phrase
from Kevin So, we are the model minority.
I need to think on this. But once again, you guys are
doing a great job with your website.
