For Women’s History Month.

Nothing better than a totally non Asian panel white splaining anti Asian violence.

I take the position that anti-Asian violence is a problem for ALL of us, not just Asians, and that ALL of us must stomp it out of society. I take the same view with any “anti” violence.

I would take huge issue with a panel on LGBT discrimination that didn't have a single LGBT person on it, and feel the same about this panel. Asian American voices should be centered in this discussion.

I have to disagree with you on this one issue.

I believe that we will only truly leap forward as a society when people that are not part of a group speak forcefully about injustice against a member of that group, and more importantly, risk their privilege to eliminate injustice.

for bringing about uniform equality for every person. A passion for equality in all it’s aspects doesn’t have a group, or racial, or ethnic signature, I believe that when a majority of people understand that, we will be able to move strongly into our shared future.
