• Commentary: Atlanta shootings show Asian Americans aren’t recognized in the country’s identity

  When I found out about the shootings in Atlanta, the massacre of six women of Asian descent and two others by a white man, I started crying so hard I couldn’t stop. I thought about my Asian American friends, my parents who work in small Chinese businesses, all the Asian women I know who raised me, who taught me, whose immigrant blood runs through mine.

• My Turn: On a quilt of oppressions and injustices

  The deadly mass shooting targeting Asian American women working at massage parlors in Atlanta, GA is neither a tragic happenstance, nor an isolated case of a (sexually) frustrated white man having “a really bad day” — as in the words of openly racist Cherokee County’s Sheriff Jay Baker. The shooting is the latest and horrific demonstration of what historically rooted and systematically sustained racism, xenophobia, anti-Asian rhetoric, hypersexualization of Asian women, and misogyny look like when they have been diligently interwoven over generations and across borders to form one titanic, timeless and gruesome patchwork quilt.Read Full StoryShootingHate CrimesProstitutionPatchwork QuiltSouth VietnamWhite RacismStructural RacismSexismWar CrimesViolenceAsian AmericanGAAnti-AsianFrenchConfucianJay Baker
