On July 10, 2020, retired Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick published an opinion Racism affects our nation's soldiers in CNN. He wrote about the racial bias he's faced as an African American in the US Army and highlights the story of Pvt. Danny Chen（陈宇晖）, a Chinese American soldier who committed suicide in 2011 after enduring racially motivated hazing.
"With images of statues being torn down bombarding our screens, it's hard not to feel, as a minority myself, that America is failing to address the real problem of racism. As I grapple with the wider challenges that racism presents for our country, its national security and myself personally, I continue to be haunted by my memories of a young US Army enlisted soldier named Danny Chen," Bostick wrote. "He was the only child of first-generation Chinese Americans in New York City. He wanted to join the Army, but he needed parental permission as a 17-year-old. His parents disapproved. Chen had high test scores and received a full scholarship to attend college. In January 2011, at 18 years old, while still in college and against his mother's wishes, he enlisted in the Army as an infantryman." "By October 2011, at a forward operating base in Afghanistan, Pvt. Danny Chen lay dead at 19, not by the hand of an expected US combat foe, but by an enemy even more insidious -- the ugly and irrational idea that one American is better than another based on the color of their skin." 2020/10/13 City Limits: Chinese Community Commemorates Ninth Anniversary of Private Danny Chen’s Death 2020/10/04 世界新闻网: 陳宇暉離世9年 華社悼念 籲重視軍中霸凌和歧視 2020/07/10 CNN: Army general: Racism affects our nation's soldiers 2018/06/01 The New York Times: A Soldier Died After Racist Hazing. Now His Story Is an Opera 2016/09/29 NBC News: Five Years Later, Pvt. Danny Chen's Family Fights to Keep His Memory Alive Harry Lew （廖梓源）was born in 1990 in Santa Clara, California. He enlisted in the Marines in 2009. In his second year, he was sent to Afghanistan in 2011 in his first combat deployment. On April 3, 2011, Lew was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head. He had been on guard duty. His death was investigated by the Marines and determined to be suicide after being hazed by his fellow Marines.
Harry Lew was a nephew of Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) Chair Judy Chu. 2016/05/06 Congress.gov: H.R.5060 - Harry Lew Military Hazing Accountability and Prevention Act 2012/08/03 New York Times opinion: Judy Chu - Military Hazing Has Got to Stop Raheel Siddiqui was a 20-year-old Marine Corps recruit. He was born and raised near Detroit, Michaigan, as the oldest child and the only boy from a family who emigrated from Pakistan in the 1990s. In March 2016, he left for boot camp on Parris Island, S.C. Two weeks later, he was dead.
Authorities on Parris Island say Raheel Siddiqui leaped over a third-story barracks railing, killing himself. But allegations soon arose that he’d been hit and hazed by a drill instructor, and was slapped, perhaps repeatedly, just before his death. Despite that, a South Carolina coroner deemed it a suicide — an act his family insists that Raheel, as a faithful Muslim and a doting son, was morally and constitutionally incapable of making. A year later, the New York Times Magazine published a comprehensive report on the death of Raheel Siddiqui. 2017/08/17 Detroit Free Press: A family's anguish: How did Raheel Siddiqui lose his life at Marines boot camp? 2017/07/06 New York Times Magazine: How the Death of a Muslim Recruit Revealed a Culture of Brutality in the Marines |
Fighting Tradition: A Marine's Journey to Justice
|
Bruce Yamashita is a third-generation Japanese American lawyer who was born in Hawaii. He joined the Marines in February 1989 because he was attracted to the Corps elite force and believed that joining the Marines would validate his own status as a U.S. citizen. However, he was not only challenged by the brutality of the boot camp itself, he was also attacked with ethnic taunts by the training officers. On April 7, 10 weeks after his enrollment, Yamashita was kicked out of the Marine Corp "because of the color of his skin." On top of that, he was insulted by the commanding officer and the rest of the staff in the headquarters.
Yamashita fought the racial prejudice and discrimination. He challenged the Marine Corps’ decision and won his case. He was commissioned as a captain in the United States Marine Corps on 18 March 1994. Yamashita wrote a book titled Fighting Tradition about his struggle to fight and expose the racial discrimination against Asian Americans and other minorities within various levels of the Corps. A documentary titled A Most Unlikely Hero was made in 2003 about his battle against racism in the Marine Corps. |
Death of George Floyd
|
|
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
--- Martin Luther King, Jr
|
George Floyd, an African-American man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kept his knee on the right side of Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds; 2 minutes and 53 seconds of which occurred after Floyd became unresponsive.
Since May 26, there has been an outpouring of statements and actions in solidarity with the African American community, condemning the senseless and tragic death of George Floyd as the result of violence and unfair treatment. This webpage tries to capture the outrage expressed by the Asian American and other communities, as well as background media reports. None condones violence and destruction as a form of protest.
From the President of Harvard University, a Chinese American student at Yale University, to the Head of Sidwell Friends, a PK-12 school in the Washington area, they recognize that this is also a teaching moment for all ages. We all pay a heavy price for being silent.
