For so long, Asian Americans have been left out of critical conversations about race, despite longstanding barriers that impede their lives and careers. Augustine M.K. ChoiAt the academic medical institution in New York City where I work, Asians and Asian Americans make up 32% of the student body and 24% of faculty and staff. Many of us, whether immigrants or US-born, may seem to fit the myth of the"model minority" -- successful, industrious, proof of the American dream. But we are far from a homogenous group, and Asian Americans of all classes and backgrounds are vulnerable to discrimination and violence.

Opinion Thanks CNN for stoking more hate & discontent. Don't leave out the Irish, the Slavs, Ethiopians, Indians (India), Eskimos, Mongolians, and the Amish...All Lives Matter. Justice for all Americans. America unite! God, please bless America.

Opinion Why do blacks hate Asian people so much? Is it because people like AOC and Price called them the new whites! They say that, because of their privileged upbringing, they are taking opportunity away from blacks! How much of this racist hatred and resentment will we tolerate!

Opinion If people believe this was Racist they should be very angry at the prosecutors for not including “hate crime” as one of the charges because this just proves that Chauvin was a bad police officer and this could’ve happened to a white person just as well !

But her parents objected. “'We don’t want you to do this,'” Xu, 31, recalled their telling her afterward.
