For Muslims and Asian Americans, silence is NOT golden

Sun, 04/25/2010 - 23:27

South Park's 200th and 201st episodes and its controversy surrounding the depiction of Mohammed and its censor bleeps bring into light the complex nature of Islam and the representation of Muslims in the mainstream media. It is complex because Islam is perhaps one of the most misunderstood major religions and have often been perceived in an negative light by the mainstream media.

Remember! BE COUNTED!

Sat, 03/27/2010 - 11:35

I understand that there are many blog entries about the census already and I KNOW that many of you have heard the mantra, “10 Questions, 10 minutes!” many times.  However, I think it’s important to reiterate once again why participating and sending that blue census form is so important for the API community since the Census Day, April 1, is already right around the corner.

Asian Americans Lean Left Politically

Wed, 02/03/2010 - 18:31

Here's a report that just come out from the esteemed Gallup Organization. It just confirms something that we at APAP have known for some time:  Asian Americans are more liberal and progressive than the stereotypes.

2010 Census Outreach to Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders

Mon, 01/04/2010 - 09:10

Happy New Year! It's 2010, and no matter how you say it -- "two thousand and ten" or "twenty-ten" -- the new year brings one very important matter -- THE 2010 CENSUS!!!

Over the holidays, I noticed a good number of press releases and news items about efforts by AAPI community organizations to encourage, but I'm thinking that most of us were in the holiday mood, and could use a reminder of what's happening!

Join us on Mon., 11/23 -- Stand Strong for Inclusive Health Reform (SF)

Mon, 11/30/2009 - 07:58

Communities of color from across California are gathering at the health reform table because we are part of this country. Back in Washington, DC, people like Rep. Joe Wilson represent America’s worst. On Monday, November 23, in San Francisco, we will assert ourselves as immigrants because we are America. We are disappointed about how public conversations about who immigrants are have led to the exclusion of immigrants in health reform legislation.
