From Bryan Ly:
What was the most interesting and most horrifying thing you have learned about asian
american history in this class? Why?
From Joseph Choe:
In "Getting Real," Paul Kim encounters a person who
brings up the idea that Korean store owners in South Central LA treat
customers as if they were thieves. The store owners were said to watch and
yell at the customers. "There's no recognition of their status as customers
and your status as the merchant trying to sell something." Do you think the
Korean store owners are justified? Consider the circumstances: the
neighborhoods are rough and life is hard for the grocers. They work long
hours and make very little profit if any at all.

When was the first time you ever encountered racism? Was it racism against you, someone you know, or love?

From Joshua Wang: Why do you think Edgar Ramirez's peers choose to discriminate against him based on his sexual orientation? Do you think a comparison of gentalia size is an appropriate response?
From Jose Dilig: Where in society does the speaker in Nellie Wong's poem "When I Was Growing Up" (111) belong? Is there anywhere she can fit in?

From Brian Truong:
Regardless if you are korean or not, how do you feel about the 429 riots in LA. What
if you were put in that position as a shop keeper and how would you react? Would
you yourself bring a gun and shoot the shop lifters or figure out a different
solution?
