I didn\’t notice until now but Lele posted a few comments about the A&F controversy below. Well okay, I admit that I wasn\’t exactly informed about the entire issue. No doubt, there will be some protest/boycott here on the Berkeley campus very soon. Which brings up a good point…are protests/boycotts really useful? The Palestian protest they had a few weeks ago was disruptive and disrespectful (noting that it was also the Day of Remembrance for the Holocaust). And additionally, I had an argument with Anthony the only white friend I ever had here…about protests. He thought they were futile since they blocked their way to class…blah blah…and it didn\’t create any urgency for the issue other than making people annoyed and irritated.

Okay I lost my train of thought. :p And I was about to make a good point too.

Uh yeah, racism/ignorance sucks?

There was a good point made somewhere about how the controversy is almost nearly a publicity stunt.

I can say that I am a hypocrite though, because when someone made a comment about my ethnicity, I would lash back with such urgency. Still, personally…I think the girl in CS lab was making a big fuss, especially raising her voice when everybody was concentrating on coding. It\’s true that because of this…according to her, Asians will never rise in society. What to do then since we\’re only 3.6% of the total US population.

And I am still an indifferent college student.
