LETTER: Reader shares her disappointment with SPD

May 21, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Editor, I read your article (online) about the incident that happened to Kert Lin.

LETTER: Reader takes issue with editorial on Trump scapegoating immigrants

May 21, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Asian Weekly,  I find your editorial (April 25 issue) very biased and your justification flawed.  As a retired nurse, I worked with immigrant nurses. I found them no better or worse than American. I would see no need to give up my position for one of them.   Now I see no need for […]

LETTER: Pandemic lessons learned

April 30, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

To be grateful that no one among my family, my friends, and the people I work with has contracted COVID-19, that we have enough to eat; and, that all-in-all, my home makes a pretty good jail cell;

LETTER: Reader urges support for Asians amid virus fear

March 12, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

As a single Black father, I have always tried to teach my son lessons about culture, which I was not exposed to until much later in life. Among these lessons was taking him to the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial. I wanted him to understand that despite the “model minority” label stereotype, America has […]
