    LOL the lyrics of the song😂😂😂 I can just see these hippy stoners thinking, “oh yeah that line is good, keep the rhymes going on his court case and breakfast he ate, it will feel like your in his shoes!… add a verse about his shoes… that could be his name..shu!!”

    Glad Asians could piggyback off Black people and get sh*tted on in return by them. every group uses our struggle to get ahead but doesn't want to contribute back to us and judges only by our criminals. and want to impede us from getting into better universities by going to get the permit of action when their numbers at any University is higher than that of their national population. 8% national population bur 25%-30% student body population…..yet affirmative action to protect 6% blacks is discrimination against Whites and Asians?????? That makes no sense unless you harbor racism towards Black people.

    It’s hard to trust any network that isn’t tax payer funded who knowingly lied about the origins of Covid to protect a man who killed 7 million people because he hates Trump as much as they do, lied now ignores the Biden crime family records on Hunters Laptop has never owned up to its role in the 6 year lie about the 2016 election wanted Trump arrested for treason for classified documents in spite of no crime being committed only to not care about Biden’s actual crimes with classified documents so it’s impossible to trust at tax payer funded network that’s so politically biased they lie to the American people every chance they get.

    Fist up! Long live the revolutionaries!! When we were connected! We were one, on a subconscious level!! Wow!! We still do it in times of human hardship. Some just are blind to the bigger picture. 🌈 This is real history!! Division is a monetary gain & to exploit those who are oppressed but the revolutionary movement lives on to regulate it. Long live ethnic studies ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽

    I don't watch PBS anymore.
    1- It gives libTURD FAKE NEWS
    2- It DOES relieve MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. So PBS is LYING to the public when it says it is funded SOLELY BY THE VIEWERS.

    As a person not from the US, I would not trust that any type of "ethnic studies" made through a US American lense would not contribute to more segregation and polarisation, unless it is solely made to teach historic events and discussing the unethical nature behind discrimination and encouraging students to think about it for themselves, as opposed to perpetuating the "us vs them" narratives that are so prolific today.
    The people responsible for the subjects would have to be self-aware enough to see how the polarised "black and white" discussion with its lack of nuance, only contributes to further the tension and divide in the population… But when that is the world you're born into, it takes some next level introspection to see it.
    There's a reason why MLK was and still is seen as a revolutionary man, even though his ideals should've been the norm in the first place. But things get lost over time, and the entirety of his message seems to have fallen for deaf ears.

    Thanks so much for this story. I love hearing about Asian American voices. I think all minorities are involved in the same fight for our rights. Keep sharing these stories. I want to hear more.

    Ethnic studies have influenced many people of color. The youngest of the Mendez family didn't know her family was in the Mendez v. Westminster (first case against segregation) case until she took an Ethnic Studies class in college.
