Asian American students confront stereotypes
Lisa Chan and other members of the Asian American Student Association set up a display in the Union Food Court on March 25 (Tuesday) to raise awareness about historical and contemporary examples of racism and stereotypes used against Asian Americans. The presentation is part of this year’s Asian American Awareness week. According to Chan, the display is not only about political correctness, but also to help students understand why stereotypes and racism have existed and how education can help overcome them.
