RACISM IS – HATE INDICATORS SPIKE

Summer 2001
Racism has spiked up. On Campus,
Asian Law Caucus has reported that at Stanford and Duke University,
there have been new anti-Asian incidents. More revelations about Darmouth's
five years of anti-Asian hate tolerance (see note in Dartmouth section).
A poll commissioned by the Committee of 100 during the first half of March
reports that most Americans look at Chinese Americans negatively. This
jump has been exacerbated by the US spy plane incident
Duke:
The Asian Students at Duke describe the following:
CASE ONE
An Asian American woman was walking to her dorm room on West Campus late
at night last week. A large number of men saw her and harassed her by
shouting that she return the spy plane, referring to the US-China spy
plane stand-off.
CASE TWO
The chemistry test of an Asian American freshman mysteriously disappeared
the day of the test; however, an unknown person forged his name on the
top of another student's test. A week later, on returning from a weekend
trip to Washington DC, he unlocked his room and found that his room had
been rifled and a large sum in cash had been stolen. On his desk was his
freshman yearbook, open to the page with his picture. His picture had
been crossed out with a red pen, with the note "it's time to go home
chink." He also received two threatening e-mails - one full of racial
slurs (pasted below) and the other with an article regarding a decapitated
man. Since then, the campus police have conducted a half-hearted and sloppy
investigation of the matter. The officer assigned to the case failed to
interview the student until a month after the incident, when she had come
to a dead end and was ready to meet with him to close the case. At this
meeting, she accused him of forging the entire crime, threatened him with
2 years of jail, and tried to force a confession out of him because "it's
less work" for her.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS EXPLICIT AND OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.
The threatening e-mail to the student, sent from over soon [over666soon@hotmail.com],
with the subject line "blessed the virgin mary."
