[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](article link below) Your thoughts?  While I believe in freedom of speech, it saddens me to see yet another professor fail to understand the complexity of the issue. I have never heard of an Asian American being subjected to police brutality and yes there are Asian gang members and Asian criminals too. I have never heard of an educated Asian man being pulled over by police when the only possible reason is he is driving a new Mercedes. As far as I know, Asian Americans were not told to sit at the back of the bus, and drink from separate water fountains and they did not have to worry about being tarred and feathered for dating a person who is white. There is so much more to consider than this, but how is it someone makes it to becoming a professor without having an open minded, an ability to see all aspects of an issue and empathy?

You have a SHOCKINGLY weak grasp of American history if you've never heard of discrimination against "Chinamen."[/quote]
