Phi points out from the article ‘Unprotected by Assimilation: Lessons from the case of Duo Ngo’ that Asian Americans should not support the wrongful acts of the system by believing it will benefit them in the long run. He also shows the dilemma a police faced and resulted to the killing of his own co-worker Duy ngo. He wants us ( the Asian Americans) to stand up for ourselves and not follow the law agency blindly. Also in Zen’s article, ‘Chinese Conservation’, he shows the Chinese should not hold on to their conservative ideas rather they need to let go of the past values to embrace the modern ( that serves equality) ones.
The goal of this letter is to make the Asian American community realize that they should play their part to stop the discrimination towards the Black Americans. The author reminiscences about the dark history Black Americans were a part of and talks about the injustice they have been facing till today. I agree Asian Americans faced a lot of discrimination in the past and amid of all the sufferings they could create a better future for themselves but for Black Americans there is still a unfilled gap in the society. Surely, they are receiving education, are in higher positions in different sectors but sometimes they are still neglected and looked down on. It is known to us that though the statements of our constitution says we are all equal in America no matter race, gender etc but the actions of our law enforcing agencies towards them depicts a different story. I think the goal of this letter certainly met as it calls for a society where there should be zero tolerance if discrimination is shown towards any minority communities and equal opportunities for all.
