Asian Americans are Americans. Constituting 5.6% of the American population in 2019, Asian Americans work hard, study hard, and live hard to contribute to the United States and to be recognized. The stereotypes and misconceptions about Asian Americans, which are abundant in American society since the 19th century, continue to divide people living on this free land. The American Dream that all Asian Americans hold up is the guarantee of the unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” revealed in the Declaration of Independence. To realize this dream, it is a must for all Americans, including Asian Americans, to know the life experiences of Asian Americans and the roots of anti-Asian violence in American history.
Therefore, we collect some information below for your information. We appreciate very much the contribution and assistance of our CAPASUS members to put together this list: They are Jimmy Chao, Esther Chiu, Mac Liu, Oliver Tu, and Ray Wang (in the alphabetical order of the last names). The first few parts – websites, articles, videos, and articles – are brief. If you are interested in learning more, welcome to move on to the section of books in the 2nd half of this document. While there are much more articles, links, videos, and books out there, we hope this list will help you to build the foundation.

We, the representatives of Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Gainesville Georgia (TCCGG), Global Federation of Chinese Business Women of Atlanta (GFCBWA-ATL), the Chinese-American Academic and Professional Association in Southeastern United States (CAPASUS), Monte Jade Science & Technology Association of Southeastern Region (MJSTA), and Asian Pacific American Advocates Georgia (OCA) express strong condemnation of shootings of March 16, 2021, when several Asian women were killed. We also strongly encourage the local officials to fully investigate this crime, to protect the life and property rights of all people, and to consider the century-long racial bias against Asian Americans that has unconsciously imprinted in the minds of some people but has never been well addressed in society and in education.
We want to express our deepest condolences to the loss of the victims’ families. These victims were not rich and stayed in the bottom of US social hierarchy, but they worked hard to earn a living in this land of liberty, hoping to fulfill their American Dreams. They did not deserve to die this way. They died because the Asian massage or spa businesses were the easy targets. They died because the society did not know the fear hidden behind the silence and in everyday life of many Asian Americans. Injustice is here.
This tragedy brings chills to the Asian community; however, we the American people cannot allow such injustice to happen again. Regardless of the shooter’s motive, the police need to be vigilant in their investigations and uncover his motive and put our Asian community at ease as soon as possible. Asians have long been seen as a “model” minority because we do not “create” problems and because we seemly accept whatever treatment from the government or the society. This has to stop. We demand the government officials conduct a proper investigation
before declaring this case solved. We also urge the government to provide proper assurance to the Asian community that this type of violence is not tolerated now and will never be tolerated in the future.

March 13 (Saturday) at 10:00 AM by Dr. Edward Huang 黃建中教授, George Mason University
Dr. Edward Huang’s research focuses on supply chain analysis, and he has participated in projects funded by NSF, AFOSR, IARPA, CICMHE, and POSTECH. Dr. Huang will focus on the operations of illicit actors in the cyberworld, in both the open web and dark web, and the supply chains and payment systems for online drug sales, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These illicit supply chains of vital medical products pose an unprecedented risk to public health (and security). 黃建中教授任教於George Mason 大學，並與不同美國聯邦組織如國家科學基金會、空軍科學研究室等機構合作從事各類數據分析的研究。黃教授將在這個專題座談中，運用數據分析指出新冠疫情中假藥、劣質醫療產品與疫苗等如何充斥線上銷售市場，並危及公衛安全。
