AAPI

The AAPI Equity Budget addresses prejudices that affect hiring, training and promotions for all AAPI as a monolithic group, but does not target the individual challenges of subgroups in terms of racial violence and hate crimes.

As the fastest growing minority group in the United States, the AAPI category compresses the economic realities of each group — it misleads with a monolithic image of Asian success.

Marking strong progress with room for further growth, “Monument” is a worthwhile project that commendably aims to elevate silenced voices and narratives.

"The purpose is to feel. It’s just to feel. If it’s grief, it’s grief. If it’s rage, it’s rage. If it’s sorrow, it’s sorrow," Lee said.

It’s no secret that U.S. education glosses over its racist, anti-Asian history, and although many of us feel we are familiar with its horrors, we aren't.

UC Berkeley students and community members gathered Wednesday in a show of solidarity against the recent spike of anti-Asian violence in the United States. 

We are not the “model minority” that sits patiently and waits to be told what to do. We are not the people who can be relied on to stay quiet and feeble.

Objectification of and hate against Asian and AAPI women is more common than we think. Yet we don't talk about it as much.
