Asian Americans

* It was a shame to see that Asian Americans have their self-appointed Jesse Jackson-like spokesman, Stewart Kwoh (Commentary, May 28). He dredges up the Japanese internment story (60 years old), exaggerates human rights abuses of Asian immigrants (comparing them to violations in China) and promotes the same tired victimization theme so common today.
Fortunately, most Asian Americans I know, including my wife and relatives, don’t think that way. They don’t expect America to be perfect and they know that there will always be bigotry, but lacking in self-pity and full of appreciation for the freedoms and opportunities they have found here, they continue to focus on the positives that have helped them become the most successful American minority.
