My Failure to Call Out Bias
I am compelled to confess my complicity in bias. As much as I might suspect that I have been affected by prejudice in my career, even among academics who pride themselves as enlightened, I know that I have failed to act when I could have, in the face of inappropriate decision-making.

American Minorities and Our Foreign Cousins
Racial nationalists, who equate ethnicity with belonging, can co-exist with each other. Their acceptance may be begrudging, but they can be sympathetic to one anotherâs sense of who should be where. They will avoid conflict if they stay in the appropriate place and donât claim the same territory. It is those whose race and nationality do not correspond, or who are cosmopolitan, who threaten an order deemed natural

The Trauma of âGo Backâ: Calling Out Racism in Full
When I was a freshman in high school, I was walking to my geometry class for sixth period. A loud voice boomed down the hall, âHey, Korean trash, go home!â In an almost exclusively White high school, I knew that the insult was being hurled at me.

Kamala Harris Has No Problem Being Black, But Why Doesnât She Say Publicly Sheâs Part Asian?
Kamala Harris likes to say sheâs American. Of course. But sheâs not generic. Her racial subtext is this: On her fatherâs side sheâs half-Jamaican, and on her motherâs side sheâs half-Asian Indian. Harris should say it proudly and often. Because thereâs a lot of misunderstanding out there. Just ask Donald Trump Jr.

Fitting In Doesnât Fix Discrimination
I have been studying the internment of Japanese Americans ever since I have been a professor. Yet I have had the most important insight, personally as an Asian American albeit not Japanese originally, only recently. To explain why the mass incarceration during World War II of 120,000 individuals on the basis of heritage, two-thirds of them native-born citizens of this nation, was wrong requires pointing out that the people who are most offended about the violation of civil rights are those who subscribe in the ideals of the United States.

After a Storied Career, Dr. Les Wong is Readying Himself for Retirement
Dr. Leslie (Les) E. Wongâs career in postsecondary education has allowed him to meet more people than he could possibly try to count, but a poignant encounter with one particular high school student in Michigan has never strayed from his mind.

Weaving Scientific Breakthroughs
When spider silk biologist/geneticist Dr. Cheryl Hayashi was the recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2007, she saw it as an affirmation that itâs okay to work on something that might seem offbeat.

Cilantro and Prejudice
Cilantro is a good example for showing the stupidity of racial stereotypes. The herb, also known as coriander and Chinese parsley, is a staple in some cuisines to the surprise of diners of varying backgrounds who report it tastes like soap. It turns out that whether you like this seasoning or want to spit it out depends on your genetics â your heritage.

A Lottery for Harvard and Other Elite Schools?
As we wait for the judgeâs decision, one interesting essay has been published in Quartz by Natasha Warikoo, an associate professor of education at Harvard. Warikoo suggests Harvard save time, money and anxiety by running a lottery. Thatâs right. A lottery.

The Biggest Diversity Case in 2018 Could be the Biggest of 2019
The Harvard case, in which Asian Americans sued Harvard for discrimination, could determine access to higher education for all people of color for decades to come. It also easily defines where Asian Americans stand on diversity. And just who the good guys are, isnât exactly clear at first.
