| There is no doubt that Sinophobia has been on the rise. Originally the rhetoric was targeted at the Chinese government. It has been shifted to Chinese people overall and now it is turning to Chinese students and Chinese Americans in the US. Here is the latest report from Yahoo: https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-fearing-espionage-u-weighs-tighter-rules-chinese-120739313.html. My thought is that the money should be focused on legal advocacy and maybe partnering up with ACLU? I honestly do not see Chinese American political power getting stronger in the near future (for too many reasons) and I do not see educational effort fruitful (people believe what they want to believe) in the short run. My sincere appreciation for SB and 80-20 efforts! I know my support is humble. But I think i ... more ... |

| Tell Asia American's stories. Through the small things, small stories to build positive Asian images. Now the question is what is the "positive" Asian images? What is the objective? Do we want to build the image to be individualism and a person with clear character or a product of authoritarian culture? Do we want to build the image of naturally American or a person trying to prove that we are also American? For example, we built America from the day one (the rail road, the restaurant, other services). We should tell the stories, the romantic, the brave stories about rail road builder, the positive images of restaurant owners, dry cleaner shop owners, rail road builders. What are considered positive? Instead of Confucius, we may want to build up the values of Renaissance. To m ... more ... |

| Dear Friends, Family, and Colleagues, Despite our now entering the busiest season of the year, I implore all to take a few minutes to read SB Woo’s explanation and time trail on why it’s imperative for us to promote equal citizenship for all Asians. Other non-White, non-Asian groups have long had their own organizations to do likewise. We should join them. Folks who’ve read my biographic essay to my then impending 50th class reunion 5 yrs ago have learned how Pop had tried to warn and to prepare me for a hostile non-Asian world. In that essay I deconstructed his admonition with numerous personal vignettes, so that I can finally reassure my classmates Pop was wrong. I ended my essay by saying “we have a country brimming with fairness and overflowing in generosity.” I beli ... more ... |

| I think the worst stereotype that Chinese Am can ever get (and we are actually getting it now) is being labelled to be a "self-serving and self-interested" ethnic group. Allow me to be honest, I think you wording of "we are the best educated people" is very offensive and incorrect. This kind of self-bluff statements is not only offensive but is also highly distorted. Also, the stand that many Chinese Americans have taken on the litigation on admission process by Harvard University is another example that have actually alienated many Chinese Am (me too), and from other minority ethnic groups in this country. Please don't get me wrong, I am very proud of being a Chinese; I agree with your thinking that we are perhaps long overdue in taking actions against what the county and the mainst ... more ... |

| AsAms have the highest % of people having the Bachelor or higher degrees, when compared to all other races in the U.S. That is a well-known fact. In that sense, AsAms are the best educated. I'll sent the data to you so that you can see it for yourself. Thanks. SB For commenting on #12 |

| Dear S.B.:
Yes, it is way overdue. I wish one day all Asian Americans can have powerful voices and provide equally powerful protections for all Asian Americans just like NAACP does for her group.

| Prof. Woo,
As you know FBI has been searching for the "offenders" who participated China's previous talent programs and suspected to violate US IP laws especially in Houston area. It would be good to establish some nationalized hotline to let potential victims to call, and a legal team behind the
hotline. For commenting on #4 |

| Dear Dr. Woo,
This article in The Economist caught my eye. I believe Asian-Americans - and any other ethnic group for that matter - can do just as well, if not better - than at Harvard, Tsinghua and Beijing if they are nurtured by an environment that respects their intelligence, their interests and their curiosity.
Happy holidays!
