about.
"Even though we Asians are of many ethnicities, cultures, and histories of past hostility in Asia, our Asian American experience of racism, anti-Asian violence, similarities with other people of colors and other discriminated people (like lesbians, homosexuals, radicals, Arabs, Jews, homeless, disabled, jobless, etc., etc.) should have aroused our consciousness and sensitivity to right the wrongs and narrowed thinking in this society. Together, we must fight racism, classism, sexism, regionalism, factionalism, and polarization.
As Asian Americans we must understand that we are connected with all people - beyond race, beyond color, beyond ethnicity, beyond class."
