An earnest question for writers/editors:
How do you feel about writers that write "I acknowledge my privilege" into their work?
Is it heavy handed? Is it self-aware and honest? Is it needlessly apologetic?
What do you think?

#WongKimArk was born in San Francisco. His landmark case, US v. Wong Kim Ark, reinforced birthright citizenship in America. Read @JohnTrasvina's article on the SF connection and lasting legacy.

Can confirm that as someone who just attended AAS. The silencing of China-based scholars don't just harm them, but the discipline, and all of us who have much to learn from their experiences and knowledge.

There is an extremely violent attack on an Asian American in NYC & elsewhere on at least a weekly basis & it seems like we've collectively accept it as normal. There may be several causes but disturbingly racist elite rhetoric cannot be discounted. Thread below:

The Chinese Canadian experience is an essential part of BC’s rich history. We're providing $27.5 million to help purchase the historic Wing Sang Building to serve as the new home of the #ChineseCanadianMuseum, on track to open in 2023. @ccmuseumbc

My latest: The uplifting San Francisco story you need right now. About a couple that has taken over Chinatown’s Great Star Theater where Bruce Lee used to watch his dad sing Chinese opera. They’ve massively rehabbed the building and will open this weekend. sfchronicle.com/local/heathe…

A rare complete set of the most important early account of Chinese-American life in the United States, a collection of 1640 vernacular folk rhymes about the American experience written by Cantonese immigrants and their children, published in San Francisco between 1911 & 1915. 1/

These are wonderful. huntington.org/news/lisa-see…
What a glorious donation of her family’s collection of glass plate negatives and prints, from @Lisa_See to the @TheHuntington!
Los Angeles’ Old Chinatown (incidentally where this year’s Oscars ceremony was held), circa 1900 - before it was destroyed.

"#Cantonese is a useful language to know, with Cantonese being spoken by 70% of the Chinese-speaking population in San Francisco, Oakland and Hayward; 60% of the Chinese-speaking population in the Bay Area and 48% of the Chinese-speaking population in California" 1/2
The Undergraduate Senate passed a resolution to restore Stanford’s Cantonese Language Program and enable its courses to fulfill the University Language Requirement.
