BLOG 7
The Vincent Chin case and the L.A Riots are such monumental events in Asian American history because it shows the struggle the asian community goes through as we struggle to live in this country. Ever since I was a little kid, I learned only a little about the history of the asian community. After taking this class, i realized that the blacks were not the only race that struggled through all this, we had to go through it too. These events are very important to remember because the people that were hurt and killed during these incidents at the time impacted how our civil rights were being violated because of our race. The asian community learned out of all these incidents. We have evolved out of it. We used these past problems and made solutions out of it to protect each other from letting it happen as often. There will always be people out there that hate us,

I wonder why it is that the Civil movement faces so largely on the Black community and fails to include others, like the Asian community, that were enduring the same struggles. Perhaps it is because of the population difference between the two. Or maybe because at that time the Asian community was still relatively silent as far as standing up for their rights. What do you think?
