警察歧视、暴力被CNN, 等ABC, CBS报道。如果没有录像真是有嘴说不清。原告说警察试图拿走录像，多亏是远程的。华人就是perpetual foreigners吗？ 不论这按摩女，还是职业中的玻璃天花板,我们见的还少吗？还是宁愿闭起眼睛不见？前几天还有朋友因为那个FOB一词有歧视嫌疑而烦恼，看看这警察的行为，我们在他人眼中不就是FOB吗，而且是illegals, or using a politically correct term, undocumented aliens。
周日纽约筹款会加州Senator Ted Lieu也提及这样的偏见，他小时侯家里车圈被扎,被叫chinks；还提起一次他穿军服竟被问是不是中国军人。Comedian Margaret Cho 在CNN说起invisible Asian Americans being viewed as foreigners. 朋友说：“日本裔的议员本田的祖先19世纪就来到了美国，现在还偶尔有陌生人问他：你从哪儿来？亚裔美国人被当成外国人是个问题，而且没有解决的办法。”
这些不是遥远的过去，就是现在。我认为解决的办法是我们行动，发出声音，无论按摩女还是参议员，有不公的就要争。朋友说这Jessica给华人丢脸，该打。我认为这无关乎丢脸。一个族群里三教九流，我们不应担心别人给华人丢脸。那么那些偷渡客是否也给咱合法华裔移民丢脸？我们华人是很讲脸面，但在就事论事上还是脱去脸面考虑为好，否则争取自己的位置、争得正义怎能有底气？警察不对就是不对，我们应该抓住这种歧视问为什么警察会说出这样的话。而看CNN的报道，已不只不是歧视，而是hate crime了。
昨晚一朋友刚好提起做父母的真希望过简简单单的日子，带孩子们长大，是啊，谁愿意看到这些令人气氛的事？谁不希望在桃花源里男耕女织？但如果这种语言发生在咱们自己或孩子身上，无论是按摩女还是职业女，我们岂能容忍？那按摩女就可以用这样亵渎的语言吗？我认为人都该平等，我们在把其他人归类为不值的同时，有否看到如果当年白人认为不值得帮黑人争平权，黑人包括我们华人能有今天的平等吗？
看看CNN女主持人问的，“这是否太过分了？” 我们既是华人，也是美国人，是美国人就要用American Way来争得在这个国家的地位。这点在前段发的Fresh Off the Boat 一文中就是强调如此。我们首先要有底气去争，也不要只局限于大学，职场，甚至华人利益，看到更广泛的社会里的不公需要改变的，我们都参与，才是真正把自己当自己人，就是我一直回避用的“主流”。相信主流社会集体进步也有益于我们华人。

“解决办法就是多生，每个人都要有主人翁精神，并且教育孩子有主人翁精神”
“赞同人都该平等，这就是典型的hate crime, 我们是华人都该感到愤怒。按摩女也是平权的对象。”
“有时候我觉得我们在做的就是螳臂挡车，美国早晚被黑穆三占领…[呲牙]， 然后他们人多投票，想做什么就做什么。”
“JFK is quite different from other white. Unfortunately we are living in a town with too much discrimination.”
“A civil lawsuit has been filed on the woman's behalf against police and City of Chicago. I see merits in this lawsuit: the cops never told the woman that she's under arrest, neither did they tell her her constitutional right. So it's a wrongful arrest. The cops used excessive force in it, both verbally and physically. At the end, the cops saw the security camera and tried to get the video footage, that's similar to destroying of evidence, which violates the code of conduct and law. I hope the plaintiff to win the civil lawsuit, not only for herself, but also for every minority in this country, for the rule of law to prevail.”
"事在人为，连同性恋都能争取到现在的地位，我们也能的。从自己，身边，小事做起。出钱出力让政府就排华法案道歉，广泛传播华人对美国的贡献，甚至证明中国人早于哥伦布发现美洲，印第安人就是华人后裔等等。"
"黑人如果自己不争的话，不会有人为他们争，靠别人为你说话，永远只有死路一条。"
