Director captures Japan’s history on film

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Alexander Sokurov’s “The Sun” opens in an awkward fashion. On the surface, life seems ordinary enough at the Imperial Palace of Japan. A servant brings in breakfast for the emperor on a tray. A second servant reads off the itinerary for the day. The emperor must attend a meeting with his war ministers. Then he will study marine biology, his favorite subject.

Editorial: Suicides among Koreans increase, time for us to be more vigilant

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The situation may be even more troubling than the numbers reveal, as the Korean Consulate General in New York stated that it only keeps statistics on Korean citizens, not Korean Americans. Consul General Kyungkeun Kim told The New York Times that he believes the actual figure may be twice as high. The Korea Times has reported that at least 36 Koreans and Korean Americans have taken their lives in the New York region in the last year.

Commentary: Diversifying ranks with immigration reform — What the huh?

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

If it does, then I agree with diversifying the ranks to level a lopsided immigration debate. I agree that more non-Latino immigrants should pressure lawmakers to change laws that indisputably favor one group of people and discriminate against another. Diversifying the ranks could assist in exposing laws of racial and ethnical favoritisms.

Letter: Cao is not someone to be celebrated as he is supporting harmful health care plan

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

To the Editor:

Maybe one of these days, rather than celebrating “Asian Americanism,” we could maybe, just maybe, not need to point out achievement based on racism. Would you be offended if we had a Northwest White Weekly? Be honest and think about it.

Letter: Not criminal to call someone communist

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

[In the Dec. 26, 2009–Jan. 1, 2010] issue, I read about the man who sued for being called a communist and it bothers me because the communist party is usually a law-abiding political party, and it is not a criminal attack to call someone a communist.

Letter: Unfair to continue rehashing the Mamiya incident

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

This story had been covered thoroughly by The Seattle Times as well as the Northwest Asian Weekly after it happened. But was it really necessary to rehash the whole event one more time in your paper? Surely, there are other stories of interest for you to present rather than bringing further embarrassment to him, his family, and associates.
