Responding to months of anti-Asian violence and increased racial tensions, hundreds of U.C. Davis students voiced their demands at a teach-in last Thursday, highlighting the need for stronger institutional support for the Asian Pacific Islander community and a more effective response to hate crimes.
“The hate crimes were sort of a surprise to me, because Davis has this notion of being a really safe and liberal school,” sophomore Jihan Ejan said. “You would think things like this would never happen in the 21st century.”
