The AI reflects the biases built into English language academia. These most certainly were not what my most impactful & accomplished professors looked like- these are just some examples now of #thisiswhataprofessorlookslike #psychology

We should not need #AffirmativeAction. But we do. Because racism, particularly anti-Black racism, persists in our systems, policies, and institutions. Until we change that, decision-makers must be made to make equitable decisions. The #SupremeCourt ruling prevents that mandate.

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.

The SCOTUS ruling to strike down race-based admissions at Harvard and U.N.C. is NOT a win for #AsianAmericans Asian Americans have been used as a pawn and a wedge in a fight against #affirmativeaction White students will benefit most from this decision. cbc.ca/radio/asithapp…

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table. In the

No matter what the white supremacists say, getting rid of affirmative action means that fewer Asian American students would be admitted to college.

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die. Period.

We’re devastated by the #SCOTUS decision gutting #AffirmativeAction . Today’s decision decimating affirmative action denies students an equal opportunity to access higher education. Its grave impact will be felt across the economic, political and social conditions of our people.

As an #AAPI person, I am anxious that people will think all Asian Americans support SCOTUS’s ruling against #AffirmativeAction. #AAPI are diverse, so I can only speak for myself. I believe in and will fight for #AffirmativeAction.

Rejecting #AffirmativeAction ≠ supporting meritocracy. … unless you understand that meritocracy is a form of white supremacy. Because a race-blind, color-blind society has always been designed for able-bodied, White men (who own property). That’s just US history btw ⬆️

Ok hear me out. Yes, things are dire right now. I agree. Even still… I truly believe that with this ruling—and so many other disturbing, dystopian sociopolitical moments in recent years—we are witnessing the last dying gasp of the white supremacist cis-heteropatriarchal

Students for Fair Admissions brought the case against Harvard University over affirmative action and “went to Asian Americans to provide cover for its white supremacist agenda,” says Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social, director of Asian American studies at the University of Maryland.

Still reeling from the devastating SCOTUS ruling to institutionalize color-blindness. Did you know > 2/3 of Asian Americans (69%) nationwide support #affirmativeaction? Full report available Advancing Justice - AAJC Blaming & stereotyping #AsianAmericans = white supremacy dividing us all.

GOP Supreme Court Justices have ruled forced births and “straight-only” businesses are legit, and policies leading to racial and economic equity are not legit. Sexism—homophobia—racism—classism are connected. Their defenders are in solidarity. Their opponents, we, must be too.

I’m annoyed by all the institutions releasing performative statements saying they’re “disappointed” by SCOTUS’s rulings legitimizing racism, sexism, heterosexual, and classism in this country. How about infuriated? Devastated? Terrified? Angry AF? Ready to fight? Anyone else?

Hey @Twitter this is TRUE - "During the trial, no students testified that faced discrimination by Harvard" via Los Angeles Times. Calvin Yang did not testify at trial. He was approx 14 years old when the case was filed! But, yeah, keep trolling AsnAm women. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Vote Now! I voted in the APA election and so can you apa.org/about/governan… #ivoted via @apa I am SOO excited about the possibility of having a first-ever Asian American female president of the American Psychological Association! Go, Debra Kawahara!

The #montgomerybrawl is a win for ALL #BIPOC who have been bullied by bigots & racists. As an #AAPI, trust me when I say that this has been a fantasy for many to #StopAsianHate: Community + unity against injustice. #avengersassemble #Montgomeryfight #riverboatfight #AAPI4BLM

Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history. Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

Can’t wait to present at the National Convening on Mental Health in STEM virtual conference next week! See you there!
