Standing Against Anti-Asian Racism
Dear FAS Community,
Many of us woke up yesterday to the horrific news of the vicious and deadly attack in Atlanta, the latest in a wave of increasing violence targeting the Asian, Asian-American, and Pacific Islander community. After a year of unprecedented loss and trauma, it stuns me to silence to witness once again how misplaced fears and prejudice can be weaponized to wreak havoc in our time. My heart breaks for the families and friends who lost loved ones on Tuesday night, and for the millions in the AAPI community who don’t feel safe today because of the possibility of racist violence, and the ongoing scapegoating that fuels it.
This violence has a history. From Chinese Exclusion to the nativist rhetoric amplified during the pandemic, anti-Asian hostility has deep roots in American culture, and remains an ever-present threat to the safety and well-being of family and friends, neighbors and colleagues, regardless of citizenship. As a society it is past time to reckon with a history that has denied Asian-Americans the respect and dignity that is a shared birthright. Until we confront it, and until we commit to the necessary work of repair, we will never achieve the promise of a more perfect union.
Our institutional commitment to truth and the advancement of knowledge means we have a role to play in fighting the false narratives that drive racist violence. We stand in solidarity with the members of the AAPI community here at Harvard and across the nation, and we recognize that this struggle belongs to all of us.
Sincerely,
Claudine
