華亞裔應多走政治之路



近一年半來,由於新冠疫情之肆虐,全國各地仇視亞裔的氣氛高漲,生活在美國的華亞裔正面臨諸多挑戰,許多人回归故里,也有大部分人不知所措,這是近幾十年來,我們在海外至少是心理上最低潮的時刻。


上週末,德州參議員惠特邁來到美南新聞總部,我們有一次非常坦誠的對話,惠特邁是德州參議院最資深的議員之一,他已服務三十八年之久,對於議事之運作非常熟識,多年來對亞裔及非裔社區非常關心,在我們的交谈中首先我表達了對許多政客之煽動形成對亞裔之仇視,這種可恥之行為會人髪指,我也向他介紹二十多年来,休斯敦國際區及西南華埠,經過許多移民之努力,已経締造了經濟之奇蹟,這些貢獻是大家有目共賭之事實。


今天國際大環境在銳變之中,這也促使生活在海外的華人面臨困境,尤其在心理上,我們必須做好充分之準備。


疫情帶來的巨大沖擊、地緣政治和經濟版圖也相繼改變之中,我們要充分認知參政是保障我們權利的途徑,如果我們不管政治,政治也會找上我們。


諸如華裔州議員吳元之,我們要大力支持他為我們發聲,他是我們華人之表率,老實說,我們寧願少幾位醫生,希望更多年輕人能走進政界,乃是社區之福也。








More Asians Need To Enter The Political Arena


More than one and one-half years after the coronavirus pandemic, our community has changed. Because of so many hate crimes and economic reasons, many people choose to go back to Asia because they are disappointed with what is happening in America.


Last week we had the honor to greet Texas Senator John Whitmire in our media center. We also told the senator how worried we are these days in our community. Senator Whitmire is a very senior senator. He has served in the U.S. Senate for thirty-eight years.


In the conversation, I told the senator that the people in our area are very worried about what is going on in the community. Many politicians have used the virus as a shameful stigma towards Asian Americans. The huge impact of hate crimes has also changed the domestic political and economic landscape. We must understand that participation in politics is the way to protect our rights.


Texas State Representative Gene Wu also joined us to meet with a group of minority media leaders. We are also so glad Representative Wu is doing a great job for our community. We need to give him more support, including financially and by going out to vote.


Many Asian families need to let their next generations become politicians, instead of just becoming doctors.


The world is changing. Asian American should take more political paths.
