发帖数: 8 | 1 Demagogic political attacks on China often plays into anti-Asian
racial prejudices? Here are examples.
(1) The Chinese Professor video: It was made in 2010 and also used
in subsequent elections.
(2) The Debbie SpendItNow video: It was made in 2012 and aired
during the Super Bowl for the Michigan Senate race. The actress was a
UC-Berkeley graduate.
80-20 shall help STOP such demagogic political ads which arouse
suspicion, prejudice, hatred or fear of Asian Ams.
Bear in mind that any ad remotely suggesting anti-Semitism or anti-
black would never be tolerated and indeed be harshly dealt with.
Stop Such Ads!
Support Committee 100 's (C-100) initiative on " Racial Prejudice
Has No Place in the 2016 Elections ". 80-20's Boards have voted to
ENDORSE it. See footnote for the guiding principles of this C-100
initiative.
Pending further development in the membership meeting of C-100, 80-
20 may do much more than just endorsing the initiative.
C-100 and its 25th Anniversary Summit
C-100 is a prestigious organization. A number of 80-20's Board
members, including Alice Huang and I used to be its members. We both
left it. I left it, because I thought many members of C-100 at the
time were not willing to sacrifice a little to provide needed service
for the Chinese- or Asian- Am. community. I often quoted JF Kennedy
and pleaded with members of C-100 that
"To those whom much is given much is
required."
Now, C-100 has done something most worthy. In a gala to celebrate
its 25th Anniversary, one of its main themes is
“Racial Prejudice Has No Place in the 2016 Elections - Let's work
together to build a more inclusive society- beginning now"
Henry Kissinger, Chinese ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tianka, two
former U.S. ambassadors to China, Steve Schwarzman of the Blackstone
Group, and representatives of DNC (Democratic National Comm.) and RNC
(Republican National Comm.) will be there together with many of the C-
100 members.
Henry Kissinger and Ambassador Cui will speak on 4/9. Presumably,
Henry Kissinger who has always spoken out against unprincipled anti-
China election rhetoric that could harm Asian Americans, will bring up
that topic again. Jing-Li Yu, an EF Board member, and I will both be
at the sessions on 4/10 where representatives of DNC and RNC will
speak to lend support to C-100.
80-20 urges all Asian Americans to actively support C-100's
initiative. 80-20 is never turf-conscious, because UNITY is our goal.
