Asian Americans and Asians in general can face racism and it often goes unnoticed because it is not talked about. For instance, in “Unprotected by Assimilation: Lessons from the Case of Duy Ngo” by Phi, he discusses how an Asian cop got shot and paralyzed by a white police officer. The officer who got shot was supposedly mistaken for a criminal or gang member and was shot by a colleague police officer which left him unable to move causing disability. The texts show how it is easy to ignore the discrimination that Asians face because it’s not affecting others.
