I always thought it was interesting how some of the most high-profile victims of the Pentagon's heinous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy were people of color (Staff Sgt. Eric Alva, Lt. Dan Choi, Second Lt. Sandy Tsao).

With the signing of the economic stimulus package tomorrow in Denver, President Barack Obama will be taking a major step in rectifying one of the leading issues driving AAPI political organizing and activism in the community. On the eve of that signing, many of the Fil Vets and organizers are remaining cautiously optimistic. I guess after being denied what is rightly yours for over sixty years, I can understand why many of them are still waiting to see what happens tomorrow. For some links to some really great articles, "flip" to the other side. :)
