US Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware saw YOUR ad in Washington Post and was so moved by it that he took the Senate floor yesterday to speak on the issue and read YOUR ad into the Congressional Record. It is now a part of US history. He said:

" The data indicates that Asian-Americans have half the chance of Whites of rising to management-level positions.

If this is right, then this is wrong. ...

The fight for equal opportunity is a fight we must not

allow to lag.

I hope my colleagues will consider the important information

that is presented here today and maybe take the opportunity to look at it.

I ask unanimous consent to have the Washington Post item

printed in the RECORD."

History may look back at YOUR ad and acknowledge it as the key document that ignited Asian Americans' struggle to win equal opportunity; and at this moment when Asian Americans begin to fight for our rights.

To see the Congressional Record and your ad, see *** at the end of this email.

It is not just lowest odds of getting into management in the 3 areas of private industries, universities and the Federal government. It is also the lowest odds of getting into management in ALL professions.

http://www.80-20educationalfoundation.org/washpost.html#q9

In addition, Asian Ams also have the lowest % of Federal judges per population.

We have 4.5% of American population and 0.7% of the Federal judges! All AsAm federal judges are at the lowest level.

Remember all the lowest odds is a reality despite our having the highest educational attainment. If we keep our mouths shut, then it'll be 3 more generations before we'll enjoy equal opportunity.

How about it, Asian Americans? As one father said,

"Our children came to this country because of us, they did not have a choice. This makes it our responsibility to make this land a land of equal opportunities for them."

against us?

The end result we face today is at least partially our own fault.

America is a great country and has one of the best political systems.

However, all political systems are run by human beings and human

beings are full of frailties. The most common frailty is that human

beings tend to “accommodate the strong and step on the weak.”

The initial prejudice against Asian Americans may be caused by the

color of our skin, our national origins and cultural differences.

However, the continuation of the very strong discrimination and

inequity is mostly our own fault. When all the other races and groups

are organized and have the political clout to punish any institution

and/or politician that commit unfair acts against them, Asian Americans

remain self/family centered and grossly ignore the need for Asian

American GROUP political clout.

Fellow Americans, open up your pocketbook and give to

80-20 EF. Our effort to win equal opportunity for ALL is a patriotic

act to help make America "a more perfect Union."

IV. Frequently Asked Questions About the Ad

1. Could the low chance for Asian American to be promoted to

managers be due to the lack of seniority in the Asian American

work force?

2. A lot of managers have a business degree. Asian Americans

tend to get Engineering and Science degrees. Could that be why

we have so few people in the managerial level?

3. The “Average Asian American Income” is higher than that of all

races and groups except for the White. Is that proof positive that

Asian Americans are not being discriminated against?

4. But the average Asian American HOUSHOLD income is indeed

the highest of the nation. So is that proof positive?

5. Asian Americans are praised as the "Model Minority," why would

anyone want to discriminate against us?

6. How about the cultural differences obvious in so many Asian

Americans? Asian Americans may just not have sufficient managerial

ambition and/or ability, language skills, and sense of humor.

7. OK, studies have shown that we are being discriminated against at

work. Are there recent empirical data that will back it up?

8. Surely the next generation will not face the same problem as we do!

So why not just be patient and wait?

9. Has 80-20 manipulated statistics? Why focus on the three areas of

private industries, universities and Federal gov? Why not look at the

Business is a human endeavor, it does not necessarily mean that people rise in it because of merit , a large numbre do but certainly not in all cases. There is a glass ceiling against asians in business is something that is true but that extends to many other professions. In the legal profession for example, there seems to be an unwillingness among certain local governments to hire Asian American prosecutors citing the reason that most defendants are black, Latino or white and few Asians.

Here in Calfiornia there are more Asians than whites who are freshman in the UC system , and there is only 1 chancellor of Asian extraction , the one at Santa Barbara named Henry Yang. In the Cal state system even with its heavy Asian representation, there is no Asian president in its 20 or so campuses.

Monday marked the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision, which declared segregated schools unconstitutional.

However, long before the parents of 7-year-old Linda Brown in Topeka, Kan., filed their suit, the parents of another little girl fought to get their daughter into a public school in San Francisco. Historically there hasn't been much fanfare about the 1885 case of 8-year-old Mamie Tape, which reached the California Supreme Court.

But it was just one of many significant lawsuits filed by Asian-Americans that have affected the lives of all Americans:

• Tape vs. the San Francisco Board of Education and Spring Valley School, 1885. The California Supreme Court ordered the school to admit Mamie Tape, but officials hastily lobbied the state Legislature to pass a provision to create schools for children of Mongolian or Chinese descent. Legislators decreed that when such separate schools exist, the children must not be admitted to any other school. In effect, they introduced the separate but equal doctrine that would eventually lead to the constitutional basis for segregation nationwide. In 1890, Homer A. Plessy challenged a Louisiana law requiring separate train cars for blacks and whites, but U.S. Supreme Court justices – based in part on the Tape decision – ruled that the "separate but equal" facilities were constitutional.

• Gong Lum vs. Rice, 1927. The Supreme Court ruled that a Mississippi school district could legally require a Chinese-American child to attend a black school rather than a white school, applying the "separate but equal" rule that later would be challenged in Brown vs. Board of Education.

• United States vs. Wong Kim Ark; 1898. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government couldn't take away a person's birthright. In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which restricted Chinese immigrants from entering this country and denied them citizenship. Before that act was repealed, Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco in 1873, left the United States and upon his return was denied entry on the grounds he was no longer a citizen. The court ruled the government could not deny Mr. Wong his citizenship.

• Yick Wo vs. Hopkins, 1886. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a San Francisco ordinance aimed at restricting the location of Chinese laundries. The justices said the ordinance targeted a racial minority and therefore violated the constitutional rights of equal protection under the law.

• Lau vs. Nichols, 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the San Francisco school system violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by denying non-English-speaking Chinese students the opportunity to fully participate in a public education. The justices said providing students with the same books; teachers and curriculum did not necessarily ensure student's equal opportunities if instructions were in a language students could not understand. The case would help pave the way for English as a Second Language programs.

Unlike the previous cases, a recent ruling by a Tennessee judge involving a Chinese immigrant couple has drawn concern from Asian-American civil rights groups.

In Baker vs. He, a state district judge ruled last week that Jack and Casey Luo He were unfit parents and awarded custody of their 5-year-old daughter to her foster parents, Jerry and Louise Baker. The Hes, who have custody of their two younger children, said they had given temporary custody of their oldest child to the Bakers while they were undergoing financial difficulties. The Bakers said the Hes abandoned their daughter.

While there were many factors in this case, the judge noted that Mrs. He could not speak English. He further noted that the couple – which may be deported over immigration issues – might take their daughter back to China, where there is a "one-child-per-family" policy.

Topeka, Kan. -- Nearly seven decades after the Legislature banned Asian immigrants from inheriting property in Kansas, the law is about to

be struck from the books.

Only three states -- Kansas, New Mexico and Florida -- still have ``alien land laws.'' Kansas is about to repeal its version; New Mexico voters will decide in November and Florida has taken no action.

The Alien Land Law Project at the University of Cincinnati Law School (Alien Land Law Project: http://www.law.uc.edu/inlr/all/) brought the laws to the attention of the three states plus Wyoming, which repealed its statutelast year.

In Kansas, Gov. Bill Graves is expected to sign the bill (SB 492) repealing the 1933 law barring Asians from inheriting property. Originally, the law passed in 1925 barred Asians from owning property in the state.

``I'm real proud of the fact that Kansas is stepping up and repealing a discriminatory Jim Crow era statute,'' said Rep. John Burroughs, D-Kansas City. ``It says a lot about how we feel about Kansas citizens.''

Burroughs, who represents a large Asian community, said the statute was brought to his attention by Jack Chin, head of the Alien Land Law Project.

The project was organized by Chin, a law professor, and law students at the University of Cincinnati. It was inspired by the repeal of interracial marriage laws in Alabama and South Carolina.

The United States specifically limited immigration of Asians from 1862-1965. During that span, more than a dozen states passed laws banning Asian immigrants from owning and inheriting property.

California was the first in 1913. The prohibition moved east with states taking the language directly from federal naturalization law. Immigrants who violated the laws faced imprisonment, fines and seizure of their property.

Most states did away with the laws between 1940 and 1960.Legislatures and elected officials in Kansas, Florida, New Mexico and Wyoming received detailed legal memoranda documenting the history of the laws and arguments for repeal from Chin's project.

Last year, the Wyoming Legislature repealed its 1943 alien land law, which had been enacted in response to placement of Japanese aliens in an internment camp in the state.

``It didn't actually specify Japanese, but it was worded in such a way that the practical application was Japanese who were aliens in Wyoming, couldn't buy land,'' said Wyoming state Sen. Keith Goodenough, D-Natrona, who sponsored the bill.

All of the alien land laws are now unconstitutional under federal law, but Chin believes they should still be repealed.

In New Mexico and Florida, repealing the statutes is more difficult

because they are in the state's constitutions. Voters, not lawmakers, would have the final word.

New Mexico voters will make that choice in November.

The proposed constitutional amendment was introduced by state Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque, who had been contacted by law students

at the University of New Mexico.

McSorley said the effort to amend the constitution faced virtually no opposition, but some worried that voters might reject it because they didn't understand the issue.

``If it was defeated at the polls it would be a monumental setback for civil rights in the state and some thought it would be better to let sleeping dogs

lie and not take the chance,'' he said.

Florida is the only state that hasn't acted on the restrictions.

Legislative staff in Florida were surprised the language was in the state's constitution and that nothing had been done about it. Calls to the governor's office Friday were not returned.

The Alien Land Law Project said Rep. Phillip Brutus, D-Miami Shores,

had planned to introduce a bill this year to deal with the issue, but did not. Brutus was on vacation and unavailable for comment Friday.

With three of the four states taking action, Chin said the project is now focusing on all immigration laws. He said the group's work on the issue in Florida would be turned over to lawyers and law students there.

Another part of the effort was a letter signed by 100 law professors from across the country sent to the states. Robert Porter, a law professor at the University of Kansas, said it was necessary for states to clean up the legal remnants of discrimination.

History of Racism Against Asian Americans

Perhaps this "perpetual foreigner-syndrome" is so prevalent because it has deep historical roots. From this country's early days, Asian Americans were thought of as foreign, different, and unable to assimilate.

Over one hundred years ago in 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act -- the only U.S. law to prevent immigration and naturalization on the basis of race -- and renewed the law in 1892 and 1902, and then extended it indefinitely in 1904.

In 1889, the United States Supreme Court upheld the exclusion and expulsion of Chinese from America, and Chinese immigration would remain restricted for the next sixty years. Americans, however, do not differentiate between Asian Americans.

By 1924, with the exception of Filipino "nationals" (the Philippines was annexed by the U.S. as a result of the 1898 Spanish-American War), all Asian immigrants, including Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Indians were fully excluded by law, denied citizenship and naturalization, and prevented from marrying Caucasians or owning land.

America fully shut its doors to Asians in 1935, when the Tydings-McDuffie Act placed an annual quota of fifty on Filipino migration, effectively excluding their entry as well. US immigration laws discriminated against Asians until 1965.

As late as 1914, the Supreme Court upheld the principle that citizenship could be denied to foreign-born Asians. Only in response to the civil rights movement, did the US government reverse itself and abolish the national-origins system on immigration.

Until recently, Asian Americans did not enjoy the most basic rights of other Americans, no matter how long we lived in this country. Let me just share a few examples:

In 1854, the California Supreme Court ruled it constitutional that "all people of color" could be excluded from giving evidence in court against white people. This decision was aimed primarily against the Chinese, but, in fact, it made all people of color fair game to persecution and even murder with impunity.

The Geary Act of 1892 stripped the Chinese of any protection in the courts, including denying them bail in habeas corpus cases.

In 1913, the Alien Land Act was enacted forbidding "aliens ineligible to citizenship" -- meaning Asians -- from purchasing land, and a subsequent act in 1920 prohibited leasing and, even, sharecropping. These laws were not repealed until 1956.

The Chinese gained the right to citizenship in 1943 because China had fought on the side of the Allies in World War II. The Japanese did not gain that right until 1952. Sadly, although many Asian Americans know the terrible history of slavery, few are familiar with our own history of discrimination and persecution in this country.

1. Asians usually face parental pressure to get into well-paying stable employment that require a tremendous level of education but are not necessarily conducive to management / politics such as medicine and engineering.

2. Asians usually have an aversion to government service because ever since the fall of the Imperial house of Qing, mass participation in government service has not been encouraged. Asian governments are usually totalitarian, and many Asians growing up and told to not interfere or question the government's actions.

3. Asians are usually xenophobic and mistrustful of foreign governments. Asians also tend to identify with their ethnicity than their nationality; eg. the Chinese government refers to Americans of Chinese descent as "overseas Chinese", can you imagine if the German or Italian governments tried doing this? A common mentality is still "I'm in America to make money so I can return to the motherland" - there is little initiative to take a stake in building a permanent life in America. The government is seen as "foreigner's government", not one's own.

Over one hundred years ago in 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act -- the only U.S. law to prevent immigration and naturalization on the basis of race -- and renewed the law in 1892 and 1902, and then extended it indefinitely in 1904.

In 1889, the United States Supreme Court upheld the exclusion and expulsion of Chinese from America, and Chinese immigration would remain restricted for the next sixty years. Americans, however, do not differentiate between Asian Americans.

By 1924, with the exception of Filipino "nationals" (the Philippines was annexed by the U.S. as a result of the 1898 Spanish-American War), all Asian immigrants, including Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Indians were fully excluded by law, denied citizenship and naturalization, and prevented from marrying Caucasians or owning land.

America fully shut its doors to Asians in 1935, when the Tydings-McDuffie Act placed an annual quota of fifty on Filipino migration, effectively excluding their entry as well. US immigration laws discriminated against Asians until 1965.

As late as 1914, the Supreme Court upheld the principle that citizenship could be denied to foreign-born Asians. Only in response to the civil rights movement, did the US government reverse itself and abolish the national-origins system on immigration.

Until recently, Asian Americans did not enjoy the most basic rights of other Americans, no matter how long we lived in this country. Let me just share a few examples:

In 1854, the California Supreme Court ruled it constitutional that "all people of color" could be excluded from giving evidence in court against white people. This decision was aimed primarily against the Chinese, but, in fact, it made all people of color fair game to persecution and even murder with impunity.

The Geary Act of 1892 stripped the Chinese of any protection in the courts, including denying them bail in habeas corpus cases.

In 1913, the Alien Land Act was enacted forbidding "aliens ineligible to citizenship" -- meaning Asians -- from purchasing land, and a subsequent act in 1920 prohibited leasing and, even, sharecropping. These laws were not repealed until 1956.

The Chinese gained the right to citizenship in 1943 because China had fought on the side of the Allies in World War II. The Japanese did not gain that right until 1952. Sadly, although many Asian Americans know the terrible history of slavery, few are familiar with our own history of discrimination and persecution in this country.

You are a moron, you should not "dislike" FOBs for the reasons you stated. I know FOB Chinese American women, working and slaving in sweatshops, waiters, and food delvery men in Chinese restaurants, with more sense, smarts, and intelligence, than you.

Why should you even "dislike" or "resent" FOBs?? You are not any better than they are, you moron. You are foreign born yourself. FOBs are better than you with your delusions of "prestige" and "eliteness". Who did you think you are, white?

As Tony Soprano would say, "Get the fuck outta here, you stupid m..f..ker!
