>> AS CENT FLOODED HEADLINES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICA AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS.

AMERICA HAS A VAST BACKGROUND OF DISCRIMINATION TOWARD COME CONTINUITIES AND THIS ACCEPT SEWED WILL LOOK AT A GROUP JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY THROUGH PRESENTS TIME AND TALK ABOUT LOCAL LEADERS WHERE THE FIGHT STANDS TODAY.

I THINK ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY TODAY BECAUSE WE KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE POPULATION COMING TO THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR EXPERIENCES AL THE WAY TODAY.

>> DISCRIMINATION HAS BEEN A PART OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN JOURNEY SINCE IT HE GAN IN THE EARLY 1800'S.

YOU IN THE BEGINNING WAITS THE CHINESE POPULATION AND THE ASIAN COMMUNITY THAT WAS EVER RECORDED THAT COMES TO THE UNITED STATES.

>> THEY WILL BE FLIGHT UNITED STATES TO BUILD THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD.

>> CHINESE WERE SEEN AS THE MISTREATMENT OF WORKERS MOST COMMON.

>> ALL THE DANGEROUS JOBS AND THEY GET SOMETHING.

>> AND IN SHORTCOMING, IMMIGRANT WORKERS WHO WERE RECRUITED INTO THE COUNTRY USING HOSTILITY FROM WHITE AMERICANS WHO WANTED THEM OUT.

NOW VIOLENCE TOWARD ASIAN IMMIGRANTS ONE OF THIS MOST NOTABLE TRAJS DID BOOING THE CHINESE MASSACRE OF 1879 KNOWN AS THE LARGEST, MASS LYNCHING IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

THEY REFUSED ANYONE OF CHINESE RACE TO TESTIFY AGAINST THE AMERICANS.

LEGISLATION CONTINUE TODDIES CRIPPLE NATE IN 1875 WHEN THEY TARGET ASIAN WOMEN WHO WERE STEREOTYPED AND SEEN AS SEXUAL THREAT MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ENTER THE COUNTRY.

SEVEN YEARS LATER THIS U.S.

ASKED THE CLI NIECE EXCLUSION ACT MARKING THE FIRST TIME AN ENTIRE CREW WAS BANNED FROM TERNING THE COUNTRY BASED ON RACE.

HOWEVER, ANTI-ASIAN ATTACKS CONTINUED AND THE MASSACRE JUST A FEW YEARS LATER.

DESPITE MORE ASIAN IMMIGRANTS COMING IN, TALKING ON TAKES AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ECONOMY AND NOT SEEN AS AMERICANS DENIED CITIZENSHIP, CHILDREN REMAIN SEGREGATED IN SCHOOLS BY THE 1940 THEY ARE NOW IN THE STATES REPLACED FOLLOWING THIS BOMBING ON PEARL HARBOR DURING WORLD WAR II.

OOP THE LAW PROFESSOR STATED THAT JAPANESE WAS NOT A SECURITY ISSUE.

IT WAS A RACIST ISSUE BASED ON DOCUMENTS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE FROM.

>> A COURT CASE.

AS TIME CONTINUED YELLOW PERIL WOULD PUSH ON ASIAN AMERICANS EVEN THOSE BORN IN THE U.S.

THE ROOT OF PROBLEMS FROM THINGS LIKE DISEASES TO EVEN ECONOMIC DOWNFALLS AS COUNTRIES BATTLE THE U.S. FOR INDUSTRY SUCCESS.

>> IN 1982, IS A NATIVE OF DETROIT WAS MURDERED BUS HE WAS MISTAKEN FOR BEING JAPANESE WHEN WAS CHINESE.

THIS HAPPENED DURING THE TIME WHEN AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY AND VINCENT AND HIS ATTACKERS NEVER SERVED A DAY OF JAIL TIME.

>> DISCRIMINATION WAS NOT WITHOUT FIGHT.

LOCAL LEADERS CREDIT SUPREME COURT CASES WHOS THE PRESIDENT FOR EQUAL PROTECTIONS IN THE LAW REGARDLESS OF RACE AND LATER WONG KIM WHO DID HE NEED CITIZENSHIP TO ANYONE IN THE U.S. AS INSTRUMENTAL TOLL THE AMERICAN FRAMEWORK.

A.

>> PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE BECAUSE OF SOMEONE OF ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY HAS TO FIGHT.

DESPITE MOVES LIKE THIS, ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS HAD A HARD TIME CONNECTING WITH OTHER MARGINALIZED COME IN THES DUE TO A STEREOTYPE DUBBED THE MODEL MINORITY.

A THE MODEL MINORITY STEREOTYPE BASICALLY PORTRAYS THE MINORITY GROUP AND THAT HAS ACHIEVED GREAT ECONOMIC EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS IN A WAY BECAUSE THEY ARE INTELLIGENT, HARD-WORKING, FAMILY ORIENTED AND QUIET.

BASICALLY KEEPING THAT DOWN.

>> IT WAS CONSTRUCTED AS A POLITICAL STRATEGY TO DEFLECT ATTENTION FROM EFFORTS OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN FIGHTING RATION DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUITY SO THERE WAS HISTORY OF PITTING ASIAN AND BLACK COMMUNITIES AONCE A EACH OTHER.

>> THEY CALLED FOURTH THE DANGEROUS RAMIFICATIONS AND SAID TO DISREGARD THE REALITY OF RACISM.

THE STEREOTYPE ALONG ARE STILL THINGS PEOPLE ARE FACING TODAY.

>> HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS AND MAJOR U.S. CITIES SERVED BY NEARLY 150%.

AS AMERICA SEES THE SYRINGE HATE CRIMES TARGETING ASIAN AMERICANS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

MANY SAYING CHINA, SUBSEQUENTLY TARGETING COMMUNITIES.

HOWEVER, DURING FAMILIAR CYCLE OF BLAME AND VIOLENCE, THE LEADERS IN GRAND RAPIDS SAY ALICENSES BETWEEN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND THEIR WHITE NEIGHBORS ARE STRONGER.

>> I THINK A TIME FOR OUR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR TO STAND UNITED IN SOLIDARITY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST RATION INJUSTICE AND ALL FORMS.

>> AS WE CONTINUE TO BATTLE FOR EQUALITY REPRESENTATION AND A SEAT AT THE TABLE.

LEADERS SAY MORE THAN EVER FOR CHANGE.

>> WHOLE UNDERSTAND THE FULL HISTORY OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN JOURNEY IT DOES PROVIDE IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE AS WE TALK TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS TODAY.

JOINING US IS SAMANTHA SUAREZ AND SUE CHEN.

THANKS FOR JOINING ME TODAY.

WANT TO GET INTO QUESTIONS.

I KNOW WE HAVE SEEN A LOT IN THE MEDIA LATELY.

THERE IS A VAST HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION FOR ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDERS HERE IN AMERICA.

WHERE DO YOU FEEL LOOK THE FIGHT AGAINST HATE AND DISCRIMINATION REALLY STANDS TODAYED?

>> I THINK THAT EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES FACE DISCRIMINATION A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

THE PEOPLE TEND TO BE THE SAME EVEN THOUGH WE ARE DIFFERENT AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT BACK GROUNDS.

SA NAN IS FILIPINO AND CHINESE.

WE GET DISCRIMINATED IN DIFFERENT FORMS, EARTHEN WORKPLACE, THE COMMUNITY OR ON THE NEIGHBORS SO I THINK AT THIS POINT AND TIME, RITE IS REALLY CREATING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH OUR BACKGROUND AS ASIAN WE HAVE DIFFERENCES.

WE ALL BRING DIFFERENT THINGS TO THE TABLE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND I KNOW THAT ESPECIALLY PUSHED TO KIND OF BE ABLE TO BREAK UP AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE CULL TURN THE ASIAN UMBRELLA.

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS BEAUTIFUL WAS DURING THIS TIME, WE ARE SOON THE ASIAN COMMUNITIES BEND TOGETHER.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF RECEIPT RUCK AGAINST CHINESE-AMERICAN SPECIFICALLY BUT I HEARD PEOPLE SAY, YOU COME TO ONE OF US.

YOU COME FROM ALL OF US.

AND I WANT TO ASK YOU GUYS ON THIS CALL, KNOW, YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE CHINESE AS WELL.

HOW DID THAT FEEL HEARING THE RHETORIC SURROUNDING THE CORONAVIRUS.

DID YOU FEEL WORRIEDED?

DID YOU KNOW KIND OF HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS, WHAT COULD COME OUT OF IT, THE ACTIONS THAT COULD COME OUT OF LANGUAGE LIKE THAK?

>> WELL, I WANT TO SAY, ALL CHOICES, CHINESE AMERICAN WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS PANDEMIC.

MOBILIZING THOSE HATEFUL WORDS.

THOSE LEADERS SUCCESSFUL TO CHINESE AMERICA AS OTHERS.

HARMFUL TO AMERICA AND NOT CONCERNED.

I AM NOT SURPRISED WE HAVE SEEN HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICAN INCREASE.

SOME THERE IS A GENERAL SENSE OF CONCERN AND FEAR.

THE LATEST VIOLENCE IS OUR WORST FEAR REALIZE.

THERE WAS MUCH DISCUSSION AMONG ALL COME TINS OF WHAT WILL LEAD TO VIOLENCE IN THE HOUSE.

ON AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WE ARE WORRIED THAT THEY OR THEIR LOVED ONES MAY BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM.

I WANT TO MENTION ONE THING.

I HEARD IT LAST WEEK.

THEY HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED.

I READ IT FIRST ON FACEBOOK FROM ONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO IMAGINES THE CHINESE RESTAURANT.

JUST LAST WEEK, SHE WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AMERICA.

GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY.

GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

I TALKED WITH THIS MEMBER LAST WEEKEND, SHE SAID TO ME, NONG OF THIS IS NEW.

THIS ABUSIVE LANGUAGE HAPPENS REGULARLY TO CHAY NIECE BUT THE MANY OF THEM FACE VIOLENCE DUE TO LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND THE SENSE THAT THEY COULDN'T SPEAK TO DEPEND THEMSELVES.

SO NOW COMMUNITIES COULD MEAN FUTURE VIOLENCE.

SO THIS IS DISTURBING TO SEE, EVEN THOUGH THE HATE CRIMES EXISTED FOR SO LONG AND HAS NOW MANIFESTED IN EVERY DAY LIFE, SO WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO STOP THE HATE CRIME.

>> AND SAM DID YOU HAVE MORE TO ADD TO THAT?

>> WELL, I THINK SHE GOT A LOT OF IT.

BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT HAS BEEN KIND HAS BEEN MORE BEING IGNORED AND A COMBINATION OF THE CORONAVIRUS RHETORIC HAS LED TO MORE RACISM BEING SEEN.

THEY NEVER EXISTED.

I THINK TIN OUR COMMUNITY LIKE THE UNITED STATES AND THE MORE EVERY DAY VERSION IS MORE JUST SUBTLE AND BEING IGNORED A LITTLE BIT, LIKE FILIPINO NURSES FOR EXAMPLE THEY MAKE UP FOUR PERCENT OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN THE U.S. AND ACCOUNT FOR ONE-THIRD OF THE CORONAVIRUS DEATH AND THAT IS A SYSTEMIC VERSION THAT DON'T DON'T TALK ABOUT A LOT.

EVERYONE LOVES IT TOGETHER.

THAT GUESS BACK TO WHAT KATIE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

SO IT IS LIKE WE ARE AGAINST THIS, TOO.

THEN, THAT DATA IS NOT BEING TALKED ABOUT.

THEN, SOLUTIONS CAN'T BE AIL COMEPLISHED.

NO ONE REALIZES THAT.

>> RIGHT.

>> DINED WANT TO GET IN MORE TO YOU KNOW, THE VIEW OF ASIAN AND THAT MODEL MINORITY MENTALITY.

I KNOW YOU TALK POLICE DEPARTMENT BEING PEOPLE BEING TOLD GO BACK TO THE COUNTRY.

ASIAN AMERICANS, SA PACIFIC ISLANDERS ARE SEANCES CONSTANT FORNER IN THE U.S. MAY BE BORN HERE.

I HAVE BEEN ASKED.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

I ANSWER MICHIGAN.

WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?

REALLY IT TAKES AWHILE FOR SOMEONE TO LEAVE BELIEVE THAT I COULD POTENTIALLY BE BORN HERE.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT PLAYS INTO SOME OF THE DISINFORMATION WE SEE.

YOU ARE NOT DESERVING OF RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE.

>> I GUESS FOR ANY OF YOU.

I CANNOT IMAGINE.

DON'T WANT TO YOU TO ASSUME.

YOU CANNOT IMAGINE I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CHAT RIGHT NOW WHO HAD THE QUESTION ASKED OF THEM.

ABSOLUTELY.

MANY OF US CAME OVER AS IMMIGRANTS, RIGHT?

MANY STUDENTS NOW AND COME OVER HER AND CHANGED THE STUDENTS AND DON'T REALIZE THAT AND THEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BACK IN THE '70'S '80'S A LOT OF IMMIGRATION THAT COME AND DON'T THINK ABOUT IT NOW.

THERE IS GENERATIONS AND LIKE YOU, RIGHT.

SO I THINK MAY OWN FAMILY WHO WERE BORN HERE.

I PROGRAM HERE.

MY NAME THIS IS.

THAT IS YOUR NAME?

SA NAN?

THAT IS REALLY YOUR NAME?

YOU HEAR NAMES.

YEAH.

THAT IS MY NAME.

THEY TALK ABOUT MAY OWN PERSONAL JOURNEY BEING HERE SINCE FOUR YEARS OLD AND ADAPTING, YOU GET TOT THAT QUESTION ABOUT ADAPTING TO THE AMERICAN WHICH OR MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE HIDDEN IN THE MAINSTREAM.

CASTING EVERYTHING THAT IS SURROUNDING US, BEING A PART OF WHAT IS SUSPECTED OF US.

AND MY OWN EYE IDENTITY.

I NEED TALK ABOUT WHO I AM.

WHAT I BRING TO U.S.

RIGHT.

YOU THINK ABOUT THE BUSINESSES.

A LOT OF THE PROFESSIONALS THROUGHOUT.

WE'RE BRING OUR TALENT TO THE U.S. WE MAKE PART OF THE U.S.

SO I THINK THAT IS WHERE SAMANTHA WAS ALLUDING TO A LOT OF TIMES.

AND NOT BEING RESPECTED BUT WE REALLY ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION OF BEING A PART OF THE U.S. MAKING THIS COUNTRY A GREAT PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COME HERE.

I TOTALLY UNDER ARE UNDERSTAND THAT.

I GET THAT A LOT.

PEOPLE ALWAYS JUMPING.

SEEING COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

PEOPLE BEING TOLD.

GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY BE HERE.

THEN, IT SEEMS THAT A LOT PEOPLE ARE STILL STUCK UNDER LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT ASIAN UMBRELLA.

SO MUCH MORE DISCRIMINATION THAT GOES BEYOND THAT.

I KNOW SA NAN YOU WERE EAGER TO TALK ABOUT THE MODEL MINORITY MENTALITY AND THE DIFFERENT DISCRIMINATION IN THAT REALLY STILL PLAGUERS ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDERSED.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO USES A BIT ABOUT THAT.

YEAH.

SURE.

BASICALLY A LOT OF MINE OR US THAN ASSUME SOON THAT ALL ARE SUCCESS.

ALL DOCTOR ENGINEER, ALL OF THAT STUFF AND BASICALLY PIT US AGAINST LI OH, SO THEY ARE OK. AMERICAN DREAM.

WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT.

LIKE THAT IS NOT FAIR.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

BECAUSE, WELL, FIRST.

THAT IS NOT A FAIR COME PARRYSTON MAKE.

IT IS NOT EVEN TRUE BECAUSE A LOT OF ASIANS ARE IN POVERTY.

LIKE CRAZIER AND IT DON'T HELP AND ASIAN AMERICANS HAVE LIKE THE LARGEST HEALTH WHICH IS ARE DISPARITY AMONG ALL ETHIC GROUPS SO THEY ARE DOING GREAT BUT A LOT OF US ARE IN POVERTY.

THAT LARGE REPRESENTATION COMES FROM SOUTHEAST ASIANS WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO COME HERE AS REFUGEES.

AND VIETNAM, THAILAND, THE PHILIPPINES, ANOTHER REASON WHY THEY KNOW, YOU KNOW?

YOU DON'T SOUTHEAST ASIANS AND YOU DON'T NEED ANY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT WE'RE KIND OF THAT MODEL MINORITY MENTALITY CAME FROM.

TURN MINORITY.

IT WAS USED TO WEAPONNIZE, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE SEEN QUIET DURING THIS.

NOW HE, PART OF BEING ASIAN IN AMERICA IS BEING IGNORED.

I THINK IN A LOT OF THESE WAVES OF VIOLENCE ARE HITTING OVER THE PAST YEAR MORE THAN YEAR AND A LOT OF PEOPLE'S EYES WERE OPEN.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT ASIAN AMERICANS WENT THROUGH S MUCH.

CAN WE TALK BACK.

LISTENING FOR ANYONE.

KIND OF THE DANGERS OF SAYING DISCRIMINATION DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE.

JUST BECAUSE HISTORICALLY COMMUNITIES MAY HAVE MORE QUIET AND I THINK AS A COME TIN THEY ARE TRAINED TO STAY BIT MORITE.

WE'RE TRAINED TO BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT LITTLE SPACE WE TAKE UP IN ANY SITUATION.

PART OF THAT IS CONFLICT.

I THINK AND AUTHORITY MASH NIBB.

SOME MAY BE THINGS LIKE LANGUAGE BARRIER SO IT IS IS HARD TO FAKE ARE NOT CONFIDENT IN THE ENGLISH TONGUE, YOU KNOW?

AND SOMETHING YOU LOOK LIKE HAD SOMETHING.

NO.

NO.

I THINK IT IS PART OF THE FAMILY DIFFERENCE, RIGHT.

WE BRING THAT DISCIPLINE TO WHERE WE ARE AT AND HOW WE RAISE OUR KIDS.

WE RAISE AND ACTS WHERE I DON'T VOICE AN ISSUE.

AND OTHERS SO I CAN STAND UP FOR OTHERS THEN I THINK A LOT OF THE COME-THAT I ARE VERY TIGHT IT DON'T HAVE THAT FOR THEMSELVES, RIGHT?

THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE ASSOCIATION OR PART OF THE GROUP THEY DON'T HAVE THESE TO BE ONE THAT WOULD STAND UP FOR THEM.

NO I?

THAT IS NOT BECAUSE IT IS SO TRUE THAT A LOT OF US IN SILENCE LONG AND WE LET THINGS HAPPEN AROUND US AND SON, IT IS THAT MOMENT THAT WE GOT TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES IN ANY FORM EVEN THOUGH THE LANGUAGE IS A BARRIER OR NEVER DONE BEFORE OR CULTURE.

THIS IS NOT PART OF WHO I AM.

I THINK THERE HAS BEEN SOME IN THE LAST YEAR, THEN IN MANY YEARS THAT WE ENCOURAGE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO ARE PART OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY TO STAND UP AND COME TOGETHER AND REALLY HAVE THAT STRONG OF A VOICE AND WILL MAKE DIFFERENCE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

>> PART OF IT IS CULTURAL.

ANOTHER THING IS, KIND OF AMERICA ENCOURAGING THAT.

LOOK YOU STATED KILEY THE MODELING AND WE WARDS US FOR STAYING STRONG AND BE WHAT PRIV LG WE HAVE AND STUFF LIKE TO.

AT THE END OF THE DAY EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT.

I AM SURE THAT IN SCHOOLS HERE THEY DON'T TEACH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT TALK TO ME AND ASK WHYS THE ENGLISH SO GOOD?

BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES MOST OF MY LIFE THEY DON'T KNOW THE PHILIPPINES IS AMERICAN COLONY FOR WHILE.

THAT IS WHY THE ENGLISH IS GOOD.

THEY NED A LITTLE EDUCATION I THINK THAT COULD GO A LONG WAY.

I HAVE BEEN TO A RACISM SEMINAR A WORKSHOP THAT LAST LEAD TO DAYS.

3:00 BLACK LATINO AND ASIAN AND SOME WOMAN IN THE SEMINAR I THOUGHT OF RACISM AS BLACK AND WHITE AND DIDN'T CONSIDER ANYONE IN BETWEEN AND WE NEED TO STOP THINKING OF RACISM AS BINARY.

I LOVE THAT YOU BRINGING IN OTHER RACISTS THOUGH DISCUSSION I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST YOU KNOW THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY HAD A TOUGH TIME FORMING RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS BECAUSE OF THAT MODEL MINORITY MYTH AND THEY DO SEEM LIKE THEY ARE CHANGE AND WHEN I SAY THAT I REFER TO THE ASIAN HATE RALLY INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS DONE IN GRAND RAPIDS AND I SEE YOU SPOKE THERE I KNOW YOU HAD SEEN A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND SPECIFICALLY TO YOU, WILL ASK THIS QUESTION.

WRAP DO YOU FEEL LOOK WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF THE ALLEYSHIP HERE IN GRAND RAPIDS?

WHY IS IT BETWEEN YOU KNOW INTERSECTIONAL GROUPS IMPORTANT?

>> YES.

I WAS AT THE GRAND RAPIDS RALLY.

YES, THE FOUR WEEKS I WENT TO DETROIT.

I ATTENDED ANOTHER RALLY SUSPECT.

SOME THOSE RALLIES I THINK VERY IMPORTANT AT THE MOMENT OF THIS TIME.

AND I THINK OF THE MINORITY GROUP AND MORE ABOUT WHAT DO WE THINK THROUGH LAST YEAR.

SO I THINK LOOK AT HISTORY LIKE BLACK COMMUNITY THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AND FOR THE EQUAL RIGHTS AND FOR SO LONG.

AND ASIAN COMMUNITY AND LIKE THE CENTER WE USED TO BE THERE.

WE DON'T FIGHT.

PEOPLE THOUGHT.

WE DON'T.

WE DIDN'T GET DISFLAMED IN FACT HISTORY PROOFED WE HAVE BEEN FOR SO LONG.

ACTUALLY THE ACT AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE ANOTHER VIOLATOR IS HAPPENING LIKE 1982 AND HE WAS MURDERED BY TWO WHITE MEN.

HISTORY LIKE THIS.

YES.

I THINK IT WOULD TEACH OUR KIDS ABOUT HISTORY AND ALSO WE NEED A STORY.

TELL OUR FRIENDS.

TELL THE DOM MACHINE TY.

TELL THE COWORKERS.

WE HAVE A RICH HISTORY.

WE DESERVE TO TELL OUR STORY.

SO GETTING, STANDING TOGETHER WORKING TOGETHER I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THOSE COUNTRIES.

WE'RE NOT FIGHTING FOR ONE COMMUNITY.

THOSE HATE CRIMES ARE NOT JUST AGAINST CHINESE-AMERICAN OR ANOTHER MINORITY GROUP AGAINST HUMANITY.

WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEING.

WE HAVE OUR DIFFERENCE.

THIS IS THE IDEAS OF THIS COUNTRY.

AND THIS COUNTRY IS A MELTING POT.

WE SAID THAT.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> ALL OVER THE PLACE.

CONTRIBUTE IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE THIS COUNT TRAY BET EVERY PLACE.

OOP YES.

ABSOLUTELY.
