    Small fact, the further away a person is from your “ethnic phenotype” the greater the chance for a Mis-identification of face and other details. And that is not accounting for racism (and that is almost always is a thing.)

    Thanks so much for this story. I love hearing about Asian American voices. I think all minorities are involved in the same fight for our rights. Keep sharing these stories. I want to hear more.

      Maybe if minorities stayed out of a country founded by and for white people, there wouldn’t be a problem.

    Ethnic studies have influenced many people of color. The youngest of the Mendez family didn't know her family was in the Mendez v. Westminster (first case against segregation) case until she took an Ethnic Studies class in college.

    As a person not from the US, I would not trust that any type of "ethnic studies" made through a US American lense would not contribute to more segregation and polarisation, unless it is solely made to teach historic events and discussing the unethical nature behind discrimination and encouraging students to think about it for themselves, as opposed to perpetuating the "us vs them" narratives that are so prolific today.
    The people responsible for the subjects would have to be self-aware enough to see how the polarised "black and white" discussion with its lack of nuance, only contributes to further the tension and divide in the population... But when that is the world you're born into, it takes some next level introspection to see it.
    There's a reason why MLK was and still is seen as a revolutionary man, even though his ideals should've been the norm in the first place. But things get lost over time, and the entirety of his message seems to have fallen for deaf ears.

    Fist up! Long live the revolutionaries!! When we were connected! We were one, on a subconscious level!! Wow!! We still do it in times of human hardship. Some just are blind to the bigger picture. 🌈 This is real history!! Division is a monetary gain & to exploit those who are oppressed but the revolutionary movement lives on to regulate it. Long live ethnic studies ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽

      That's like replying 'All lives matter' to 'Black lives matter' - of course all lives matter, and of course all wrongful convictions need addressing. That's not what this is about.

    • @MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou
      @MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou Год назад +1

      @@Quazey No. It's not. Police brutality against black Americans is a systemic recurring problem. Asians getting wrongfully convicted is not a systemic recurring problem.
