Letters to the Editor: Japanese and Muslim Americans, Obama & Reverand Wright, He Banged
Japanese and Muslim Americans: Shared Histories
It’s history repeating itself; the chain needs to be broken (“Joined in Outrage,” Editorial, May 2). It’s really upsetting and awful what Muslim, Middle Eastern and South Asian Americans are subjected to in America today. Taking the model straight from the internment camp process is disgusting. It’s just an utter […] -
Letters to the Editor: Obama and APAs, ‘21′: Playing The Game, China and the Olympics
Obama and APAs
In Obama’s books, we can glean a few insights about his attitudes toward Asians (“‘Yellow Peril’ Helps Clinton Sink Obama in Pennsylvania,” Emil Amok, April 25): 1) Obama’s black best friend in high school told him: “Asians are worse than whites.”; 2) His grandmother would tell him about the “Chinese who control the […] -
Letters to the Editor: China: Learning from the Best, ‘Forbidden Kingdom’ Sounds Familiar?, On-Liner Asian American History, Not Folding Over ‘21′
China: Learning From the Best

Letters to the Editor: Chol Soo Lee, AZN TV, R.I.P., Jabbawockeez Love
Chol Soo Lee
Chol Soo Lee’s story highlights the discrimination a Korean American man received in the criminal justice system (“The Story of Chol Soo Lee,” March 28). In the 1970s, San Franciscans had little knowledge of the difference between -
Letters to the Editor: Obama’s Race Speech, Fight over Little Saigon, AZN TV, and the Murder of Pheng Lo
Obama’s Race Speech
Having taught at black public schools and read extensively on African American studies, I fully empathize with the plight of African Americans and their anger and frustration (“We Have A Dream,” Washington Journal, March 21). -
Letters to the Editor: Anna May Wong, The War on Homework, Ballroom Dancing Duo, and Black-Asian Couples
Anna May Wong
There are three parts to my Anna May Wong endeavor (“A Look Back at a Legend: Elaine Mae Woo’s ‘Anna May Wong: Frosted Yellow Willows,’” Reel Stories, March 14): the 50-minute documentary film; the book, Anna May -
Letters to the Editor: Filipino Veterans Bill, Mature Ballroom Dancers, Government Misconduct in Jew Case, and The Power of Stereotypes
Filipino Veterans Bill
This bill will never pass, and even if it did, it would be vetoed by the president (“Filipino Vets In The Crosshairs,” Feb. 29). The money would have to come from another department, or a budget offset other than the Veterans Affairs budget would have to be identified.
