反对亚裔细分的声明 美国华裔联盟 CAA
亚裔细分是指近年来在美国各地陆续出现的一类通过立法形式强制进行只针对亚裔进行
身份标识、祖籍国标识的种族歧视法案。其中引起大范围关注的有加州的(AB-1726),
罗得岛州(S0439),麻萨诸塞州 (H.3361),明尼苏达(SF2597),华盛顿州(HB1541)等法
案,并且在纽约市等地近来也发现有此类议案在酝酿。这一趋势已经引起了亚裔社区的
高度不安。
这类身份标识细分法案的推动者,如刘云平、赵美心、和伍国庆等,通常打着便于推行
种族“优待”政策的旗号提出议案。虽然这些法案都试图以促进医学研究,提高教育等
为借口,却无法掩盖其单独把仅占美国人口5.6%的亚裔人口孤立,并进一步用其祖先所
属国家进行身份标识的实质。
用身份标识推行种族政策,亚裔并非唯一的受害者。历史上,臭名昭著的德国纳粹政府
对犹太人的种族识别与迫害,南非种族隔离时期政策,二战时期对日裔美国人的集中营

三藩市房东的血泪史 The Tragic History of SF Landlords
作者:苦叶
| 发表于2011年9月22日《星岛日报》
(零)前言
最近『星岛日报』新闻上,有位三藩市华人房东因租霸长期欠租,而被迫银主盘。在银
行清盘的过程中,发现这些导致他破产的租客仍然住在他的楼房里,激愤难当!他与这
些租客发生骂战,并升级到肢体冲突。事后,租霸恶人先告状,报警把房东送进了牢房
。可怜的房东,因为不懂租务法律,白白失去了心爱的房子,一生的积蓄也化为虚有,
还失去了做人的尊严。
这样的故事天天发生,华人业主的租务纠纷,让许多人倾家荡产。甜美的美国梦,有可
能一下子就掉进官非的深渊。这样的故事罄竹难书,令人心酸。三藩市的租务法律为何

大厦,因此住房一贯紧张。90%以上的民居是建于20年代的两层或三层的墙贴墙的窄长
房子。每个房子格局都差不多,第一层都是... 阅读全帖

何美湄:回吳先關於““Dangerous Politics”
A Response to the “Dangerous Politics” memo from S.B. Woo dated 4/11/14
By: Mei Mei Huff.
While Mr. Woo talks about the Republicans in California living under
absolute Democrat Party rule because the Democrats hold 2/3 of the seats in
both the Assembly and Senate, that ratio has only been in existence since
the 2012 election as a result of new districts drawn to reflect the last
census. In fact, because some sitting Senators won elections to Congress in
the Novemb... 阅读全帖
