RACISM: Study of micro aggressions

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Sandy Yee SYLP student In a world full of diversity often come racial disputes, which can also be identified as racial micro aggressions, forms of subtle discrimination. Because they’re so subtle, not everyone realizes that they happen. People assume that discrimination equals hate crimes, violence, and racial slurs. However, treating others differently is also […]

RACISM: Ending racism

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Brandon Wong SYLP student The weeks I spent in the Summer Youth Leadership Program have been inspirational and have changed me.

RACISM: Racism and stereotypes

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Shusuke Sugihara SYLP student The Summer Youth Leadership Program taught me many things this summer. We have learned about racism and stereotypes of Asian Americans through different speakers, all of whom are successful people. The speeches made me think about one of the biggest problems in our society: racism. People believe that people are […]

MODEL MINORITY: Why are Asian people so smart?

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Alan Reilly SYLP student When I was in American school, in almost every single class I had, there was always someone who asked me the question, “Why are Asian people so smart?” I didn’t really know the answer when they asked, but as I continue my education here [at the Summer Youth Leadership Program], […]

MODEL MINORITY: Stereotypes

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Eric Chan SYLP student As I progress through the Summer Youth Leadership Program, I’m starting to realize a lot of things about being Asian American and how stereotypes can affect my future goals and success.

MODEL MINORITY: Transition to youth

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Vivian Chan SYLP student Time is inevitable. The clock ticks continuously as our lives grow shorter. As one generation fades, the other steps in. Asian Americans are viewed as a stereotypical group of people who keep to themselves and walk their path with their eyes shut. But which generation is this describing? The sons […]

MODEL MINORITY: Stereotypes … can we put this flame out?

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Chris Lee SYLP student Stereotypes … now where do I begin? Stereotypes are extremely common in our culture. Whether you are judged by your race or by how you act, stereotypes will be difficult to stop. Our culture has been adapted to judge someone based on their appearance. What we can control is making […]

MODEL MINORITY: Asian stereotypes and how SYLP has changed them

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Ryan Wong SYLP student Over the course of our lives, we have been faced with a bunch of stereotypes, such as, Asians have small eyes or Asians eat rice every day. I have seen people with really big eyes, and they are Asian. Also, we eat things besides rice, like noodles. People should think […]

MODEL MINORITY: Emerging as an Asian American

September 1, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Harrison Lo SYLP student Asian Americans were thought to be ninjas, to be seen and yet unseen in society. We are seen as the minority group that has it best. We can take the racist remarks and comments as if they are nothing. Why has this become the image of Asians today? We hardly […]
