In the reading, "Crossing Borders of Disciplines and Departments, we see the racism and injustice that Muslim face after the terrorist attack of 9/11. Muslim were discriminated against across the nations, losing jobs, being arrested indiscriminately, being deported for no reasons, etc. The notion of prejudice because of what you are is not new to Asian Americans.
Now, Asian Americans are being deported back to Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos because of crimes they have committed in their youth. Some of these Asians are arrested for insignificant crimes like possession of marijuana which the government has deemed crimes that are deportable. Also, with the news of corona-virus in the world, Asian Americans especially Chinese are facing racism and prejudice worldwide because they are deem to have the virus just because they are Asian or Chinese.
Is there a way for Asian Americans to stand together as a whole to combat these racism and prejudice ? Or do you think that Asian American groups are too divide to stand together?
