Racism, sexism and fetishism
LAST WEEK marked a week of awareness for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence with Take Back the Night programs at the University. Even as we saw support for these events, we are still harshly reminded of the reality of pervasive sexism and racism in our community. It has become obvious that even as we try to raise awareness segments of our population are still propagating views that continue to marginalize, stereotype and sexualize women of Asian descent. These are incidences that further affirm the lack of racial awareness beyond black and white at the University.
