YouTube Video Mocking Asians Stirs UCLA Campus
YouTube video mocking Asians stirs UCLA campus
llie Grasgreen, Inside Higher Ed
“When a University of California at Los Angeles student, in a video she posted online, used a mock foreign language to imitate Asian students talking loudly in the library, she probably didn’t think twice about it. But for many, that moment — along with others in the video — was yet another illustration of students’ willingness to openly criticize their Asian peers.
And while UCLA Chancellor Gene D. Block acted swiftly by issuing a statement and video saying the young woman’s speech “has no place at UCLA,” the reality is that it’s commonplace.
The reputation of Asian Americans as a “model minority” has long plagued students of that ethnicity. They have said that professors hold them to higher standards. Affirmative action debates often touch on the fear that without the policy, students of Asian descent would replace other minority populations on campuses. And satirical articles in student newspapers have mocked studious Asians in very public fashion. (The student newspaper at the University of Colorado at Boulder suspended its opinion section and pledged to undergo sensitivity and diversity training three years ago, after it published an anti-Asian satire.)”

I think this article hits very close to home and the experiences I had while at school.
I’m glad people are speaking up.

Oregon’s 2010 Census Shows Latino & Asian Gains
Oregon’s 2010 Census shows striking Latino and Asian gains
Wednesday, February 23, 2011, 9:19 PM
By Nikole Hannah-Jones
Oregon’s Latino population surged 63 percent in 10 years, largely fueling the state’s 12 percent growth since 2000, according to U.S. census figures released Wednesday.
The robust gains of Oregon’s Latino population is a story repeated across the country. Joined by a 41 percent increase in the state’s Asian population, the trend is helping turn what was once a starkly white state into an increasingly diverse one.
Overall, Oregon grew by 419,000 residents, with Latinos accounting for about 43 percent of that growth. The state’s white population increased 5 percent, its black population 22 percent and its Native American population 6 percent.
People identifying as more than one race grew 33 percent, making the number of Oregonians — about 110,000 — choosing the multiracial category larger than both black and Native combined.
Just 20 years ago, more than nine of 10 Oregonians were white. Today, it’s fewer than eight in 10. And Washington County has eclipsed Multnomah County as the metro area’s most racially diverse, with people of color accounting for three of 10 residents.
“It certainly represents a tremendous opportunity for the state,” said Michael Hames-Garcia, head of the University of Oregon’s ethnic studies department. “One of the disadvantages Oregon has faced economically and in competing for businesses in trying to attract top talent is that we don’t offer a diverse environment and diverse work force.”

They’ve got some maps and what not that you can mouse over.
