Committee of 100 ConferenceNational survey of attitudes toward Asian Americans gets heavy attention By Sam Chu Lin The Committee of 100 aims to bring the Chinese American perspective to the mainstream. With the release of their survey on attitudes toward Asian Americans, it’s apparent they have their work cut out for them. Among those surveyed, the study found: 25 percent indicated strong negative attitudes and stereotypes of Asian Americans, 24 percent disapproved of intermarriage with APIs, and 23 percent said they would feel uncomfortable voting for an Asian American presidential candidate. The survey was topic No. 1 during the organization’s annual national convention held last week in Washington, D.C. Many participants agreed that long-held suspicions and negative feelings about the API community continue — and may even be on the rise. |

She was the only survivor in her hut of 16 people — 11 children and five women, she said.
