Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! This blog is going to be used as a project for our Asian Studies class at Hunter College. We are looking for brave individuals who feel comfortable sharing their experiences they had with racism as Asian Americans in America. Feel free to include whatever you want to describe how you felt during the experience(s) or anything else relating to the incident(s). We are looking for answers to a few key questions: Describe the incident(s) - Who experienced the encounter? - Where did the encounter take place? - What events led up to the encounter? - Who was the racist individual(s) and describe what they did and or said? Describe your reaction - How did you feel before and after the incident? - What did you feel like saying or doing after the incident? - What did you actually say and or do? - If you could go back would you have reacted any differently? - Why or why not? Why is this important to you? - How do you feel America treats Asian Americans in general? - Generally accepting or not accepting? Is there still a long way to go towards equality, how so? - Why is standing up against racism as an Asian American important? - Why is it important for yourself, for your family, for your culture? - What is there to be gained from standing up against racism? These are only some of the things that you can talk about and you can even include a little insight to yourself by including a picture! ** These stories can be something personal you yourself experienced OR someone you know did. Thank you for your contribution!
