黄 唯:We have a lot of diversity in Asian
American nationalities. Age matters too. Those of us who came to US
in the 60s are different from those who came in 70s and 80s , 90s.
Etc. those born here are more different. They feel the
discrimination a lot more than us older ones. Could be we were
silent and accepting for so long that we lost our voice.but as a
group we are no different than any American families, wanting a
better life and education for our children. Enjoy life , be happy ,
have a good job. And love each other.
李兆良:The most important values Americans
claim are Liberty, Equality and Justice for ALL, which is the Pledge
of Allegiance that all American students recite first thing in the
morning. Those who attack innocent Asians out of no reason but
racial hatred, are destroying the values of America, and essentially
destroying the moral ground of America, and upon which this nation
is founded. They are betraying themselves and their ancestors.
All Americans have the responsibility to stop hate crimes of all
kinds and any kind.

Gia Hoa Ryan 越南:"I like many others of

insults from others, including Asian and non-Asian. I remember one

store. She did this several times on the occasions when I passed her
by. Finally, I stopped and went over to her. I said, “I do not know
what is your problem. Every time I come by here walking with my
daughter, you shout at us. You might have lost some one over in
Vietnam. I am so sorry. I myself lost many there. So I understand a
little of your pain. I know many Americans die for us. I want to
thank all of you. If it was not for all of you, I would not be here.
So thank you.” The woman began crying. “I am sorry,” she said. I was
glad that I opened up to her and tried to be kind. So this is my
first recommenda |
