BRANDEIS STUDENTS RALLY AFTER ASIAN AND WOMEN HATE ACTS (part 2 of 2)

However, less than a week after the forum, two separate student housing rooms had been vandalized with the phrases "me love you long time" , "black dicks too big", and "me fuck you long time." The graffitti seems to be backlash for the way many Asian-American women on campus had stood up for themselves in the face of their public degradation.

President Jehudah Reinharz has stated that if the perpetrator(s) to this hate crime are caught, they will be appropriately penalized, as well as has issued a general statement decrying acts of intolerance , such as the racism evident on the radio show.

The Intercultural Center Programming Board at Brandeis has released a statement responding with, ".we would be comforted by an Administrative response that will speak to the specific insensitivities that were manifested in this recent broadcast, and not a generic response that has no real meaning to us as minority students." The statement included larger community concerns, "..with such ignorance evident on this campus, we cannot feel at home at this University until our senior leadership shows a genuine disdain for the event that has caused our most recent pains."

Still, there remains a disempowered, silenced group of Asian-American women who have been warned against speaking out, with consequences of community ostracism, and terrorized with concerns of racial as well as sexual harassment.

A group of concerned students planned a community meeting following the rally, were they presented specific demands to the administration, in order to prevents incidents of biased harassment for Asian American students, as well as all marginalized groups in the future. They demanded that the University create new positions of two senior administrators who will have the specific duty of addressing the concerns of diversity within the makeup of the student body, faculty, staff, and other administration, whose responsibilities would include being a centralized location for the confidential reporting of homophobic, sexist, and racist incidents, creating a safe space for students of minority groups to discuss issues of concern. these funded administrators will also implement programs of sensitivity training for students and faculty to include concern for issues of difference within gender, race, class, age, disability, religion, nationality, and ethnicity.
