NOCCCD APIA: Book Discussion

Book Discussion

The first book discussion was well-attended with students from Eufemio Fernandez's Ethnic Studies class. Larry Hashima led the discussion about The Myth of the Model Minority: Asian Americans Facing Racism and the time flew by! Afterwards, a few of us went out for Korean food. Delicious!

The next book will be I Love Yous are for White People by Lac Su.

I thought the book was thought-provoking. I didn't agree with some of the authors' conclusions, but it made me re-think some of my beliefs.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks! premium notebooks
