我們需要處理好族裔關係

近日來德州休斯敦華人社區遭受搶刼導至華人同胞受重傷, 大家都對於治安敗壞表示憤慨和不安， 許多社團也紛紛舉辦座談會， 來討論如何面對未來之挑戰。

我們對於華人社區之行動感到振奮， 也對於大家關心治安有著巨大之期盼， 我們認為如何去關心社區也是我們之責任 。

最近高等法院裁決大學之錄取不能以種族之標準來決定，換言之，非裔、拉丁裔學生進入名校相對就會減少， 是否會對華亞裔造成仇視和不滿。

近半年來， 在各種裔領袖之主導下， 我們正在籌組之德州族裔聯合陣線， 正在具體成立常設團體， 我們有感於美國國內之混亂， 政客們對華亞裔提出諸多不公不義之法案 ，令人失望和憤怒 ，我們唯有聯合大家之力量 ，來應付未來之挑戰。

在此同時， 我們也更要對自己社區做些慈善及公共服務之工作， 表現我們對社區之關心， 尤其是對弱勢團體， 他們也是我們社區重要之一部份。

We need To Deal With Ethnic Relations 

Last Monday a Chinese American worker was robbed and seriously injured. Many community leaders were very angry and held a town hall meeting to discuss how to face this security challenge in the future. 

We are very happy to see the participation of our community 

on this serious issue and very encouraged with everyone’s concern also for our safety issues.

Recently the Supreme Court ruled that college admissions can’t be determined by racial standards. In other words, African American and Latino students will be relatively reduced in numbers for entering colleges and universities. And 

now, Asian students will have a better chance go to well-known universities as a result. This may cause hatred against Asian students. 

Over the past six months, under the leadership of various ethnic elders, we are forming a coalition 

to fight against unfair and unjust practices against minorities in the U.S. Many states have sponsored unfair and discriminatory bills 

and we have felt very angry and disappointed. This coalition will begin to fight all the unfair bills and practices. 

Another thing we need to do is to participate in social service work and charity work to show our caring and responsibility. This is also a very important way to work in the ethnic community.
