A disturbing precedent for academic freedom and the silencing of Asian Am Studies is unfolding at Brown University.
Read & sign an open letter opposing the unjust sanctions placed on Prof. Naoko Shibusawa, an important campus leader for racial justice.

The Brown admin punishing a professor for "breaking confidentiality" in an article that criticizes the admin is like the cops arresting an ACAB protestor for jaywalking. Doesn't pass the smell test. Please read & sign the petition.

Whatever we learn next, please be clear you can’t understand places like Monterey Park without Asian American Studies research the mainstream generally ignored for years. Tim Fong wrote this book 29 years ago. tupress.temple.edu/books/the…
Here’s a BBC report of the mass shooting in Monterey Park near Lunar New Year festival site because over 3 hours after the incident, I could not find any national news reports from major U.S. print or broadcast media. (LA Times has headline coverage.)

"Gibberish has been used to violently dehumanize Asians for centuries. It’s not just some fun comic routine from the last century." Esther Kim Lee
Let me give you a history lesson @JohnHMcWhorter. Making fun of Asians in the way Thomas L. Keon (Chancellor of Purdue University Northwest) did is unpardonably racist. A thread.

Let’s put Chancellor Thomas Keon’s racist graduation comments into the context of institutional racism at Purdue NW. There are ZERO Asian American Studies classes in the catalog. Chancellor’s staff has ZERO Asian Americans. 1/🧵

Mayor Breed and her allies have spent the past year playing a clever game, portraying crime as out of control in San Francisco when it suited them in recall elections and policy debates.
How’s that going for them?
