“On January 16, 2012 a student in Chicago was bullied and beat by seven students:

WESLEY WU
EASLEY WU 
RAYMOND PALOMINO 
TODD RAMOS
JOHNNY LI 
DANNY HUI

We would like to demand an apology from all seven students, demand that they receive proper disciplinary action, and send a message to all that racial bullying is not okay.”

Sick and disgusted. At first I thought it seemed like an anti-Asian racist hate crime. I was completely shocked when I found out most of the bullies were Asian as well. Racism becomes internalized and can develop against one’s own race.

“Well, in reality, gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths; they are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes; and whether we know it, or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Being gay is not a Western invention; it is a human reality.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s address at the  ’Free and Equal in Dignity and Rights’ at the United Nations.
