自大流行开始以来, which the former president of the United States referred to as the “中国人 flu” and “kung flu,“曾经有过 3,800 self-reported incidents of anti-Asian violence. Particularly sensational and deadly attacks have also made headlines, the numbers of the attacks seem to be rising. 女性成为了不成比例的目标. 最近, 一个人杀了八个人, 包括6名亚裔美国女性, at three different Asian massage spas in the Atlanta area. While we are still learning details, it seems highly likely that race was a motivating factor.
我们坚决谴责这些种族主义行为. We take solace in the fact that many institutions have made statements denouncing this violence and the racist rhetoric that encourages it, as well as in the actions of many community organizations who have stepped forward to offer direct aid to the most vulnerable. We are supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement and believe discussions of anti-Asian violence should be mindful of the complex role that law enforcement plays in discussions about race. We 湾t to support existing community organizations and the people who are already doing the difficult work of addressing the many challenges they face.
作为教育者, we encourage BC students to learn more about the long history of anti-Asian sentiment, 实践, 和美国的机构, 还有文化, social, 以及背后的政治力量. The recent racial incidents that have occurred on campus, while they seem not to have targeted Asian Americans, might also be understood as being shaped by these larger dynamics, so can give us an opportunity to think with others across racial divides about what we have in common. We are adding a list of books to this statement that contributes to this understanding, 已经在文章中探讨过了 华许, 安妮程, 詹妮弗•李.
We urge anyone who feels vulnerable or in need of someone to talk with to seek counseling. BC 大学辅导服务 is an excellent resource, offers many services for students. Please also do not hesitate to reach out to your BAIC advisor at the Thea Bowman AHANA和跨文化中心 如果您需要任何额外的支持. If you are aware of any incidents on campus or have been impacted directly, be sure to use 这种形式 报告他们.
最后, we ask all BC community members to stay informed and engaged, to contribute to community organizations that are already doing the important work of recording incidents and offering support. The following are organizations that the Asian Caucus have identified in their own statement. These organizations are doing work we wish to amplify:
- Volunteer initiative by Jacob Azevedo - volunteer initiative to accompany seniors and others in Oakland’s Chinatown who feel unsafe while running errands - compassioninoakland@gmail.com
- 反对仇恨-亚太裔协会发起了 反对仇恨 site along with the other Advancing Justice affiliates. Stories submitted through the site help us monitor incidents around the country and inform our policy and program work, allow individuals to submit their experiences in 英语, 中国人, 朝鲜文, 和越南. http://www.standagainsthatred.org/
- Communities Against Hate - A diverse coalition coming together for the first time across communities to document hate and demand action. http://communitiesagainsthate.org/report?ref = advancingjustice-aajc.org
