Stereotypes are present everywhere: in schools, on the streets, at work, everywhere. Asians are stereotyped as nerds; African Americans, criminals. It is too easy to assume another’s personality based on the looks of another due to the thoughts implanted by society.

One movie in particular that depicts Latinos as the “bad guy” in an unfair…

Asian Americans “seeking freedom from racial oppression through the power of a consolidated yellow people”(Uyematsu 3). Similar to the African American Civil Rights Movement, improving social and economic conditions could only be achieved through ethnic political power which the Asian American Movement aimed to promote. In fact, “yellow power” was also a key reason why Uyematsu published her article in Gidra, a student-run news article created in 1969 based in UCLA. As student in the midst of…
