OCA MONITORS NATIONAL DEBATE ON OLYMPICS IN CHINA FOR IMPACT ON ACE RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON DC — OCA, We restate that OCA does not take a position on the politics if any foreign country, but instead focuses on the welfare and civil rights of Asian Pacific Americans. We also actively promote the need for thoughtful discussions and respectful language from all parties as we engage in this and other important dialogue. OCA will be closely monitoring the communications of all parties to ensure that this national debate does not descend into negative racial stereotypes or edge politics.
Founded in 1973 as the Organization of Chinese Americans, OCA is a national organization dedicated to the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.
