“We are the children of the migrant worker/ We are the offspring of the concentration camp/ Sons and daughters of the railroad builder/ Who will leave our stamp on America.  We are the children of our Chinese waiter/ Born and raised in the laundry room/ We are the offspring of the Japanese gardener/ Who will leave his stamp on America.  Sing a song for ourselves/ What have we got to lose/ Sing a song for ourselves/ We’ve got the right to chose.

This is shocking to me as I’ve recently learned that Asian & Pacific Islander men and women (across all sexual orientations) have the highest percentage increase in new HIV infections—higher than any racial or ethnic group in the country.

Too bad, I didn't know about it until about a week ago that this was going down.
