Further Reading on Historical Racism Against Asian and Asian-Americams
"I didn’t know I was Asian American until I was a sophomore at Tufts. I always knew I was Korean, but being Asian American was not a part of my identity until I went to college. As part of my training as an Asian American Peer Leader, we met each week and learned about the Japanese American internment camps during World War II, the stereotypes of Asian women as the sexual goddess Suzy Wong, and the stereotypes of Asian men as the emasculated, nerdy, kung-fu expert. Another critical moment in my awakening as an Asian American woman was when I took a Race Awareness class at Tufts. I clung onto the two other students of Asian descent for emotional safety, and I finally began to understand the experiences of my Black and Latino classmates. I hope that you explore the diversity of resources available and continue your education as an activist. We cannot stop learning until we have won the battle against racism."—Mrs. Cathy You
