    Can a good stereotype be harmful? According to Asian American author, law professor and current president of Queens College, Frank Wu, it most certainly can be.

    Do Asian Americans Face Discrimination in Higher Education?

    Despite being portrayed as a minority that often achieves high levels of education and wealth, many Asian Americans feel they are in fact being discriminated against in the college admissions process — particularly around subjective qualifiers like personality. To understand this perspective, I spoke with Swan Lee, the co-founder of the Asian American Coalition for Education (AACE), the group whose recent allegation resulted in an investigation by the Department of Justice into the potentially discriminatory admissions practices at Yale.

    Is It Ever Okay To Use Native American Logos in Sports?

    The Chiefs. The Indians. The Redskins. The Blackhawks. The use of Native American iconography is entrenched in US sports, from pro leagues down to the high school level. In light of the recent retirement of the Redskins name for the now Washington Football Team, I sit down with Blackfeet tribal nation member— and grandson to the logo's designer–– Donnie Wetzel Jr., to talk representation of Native Americans in sports.
