标 题: 在老板的PPT上，把你的头换成猴子，大家会怎么办？

你敢告老板吗？你觉得你身边的人会支持吗？
这可以说是一个玩笑，但是就是因为老板是白人而对象是黑人，UCLA的一个医生把学校
给告了。
我不太清楚主流媒体有没有报道，change.org上他找到了十万签名，继续法律行动。
有时候看着他们争取权利觉得感动，有时候，特别在学术界，教育方面，他们的斗争使
得成绩好的中国人都得不到上好学校的机会（因为中国人“太多了”）。 其中一定的
原因是我们是沉默的一群。
Dr. Christian Head was a respected surgeon at the University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA). But because he is black, Dr. Head was the target of
blatant discrimination -- including a public presentation that featured an
image depicting Dr. Head as a gorilla being sodomized by his white
supervisor.
Dr. Head fought back. After more than 100,000 people signed a petition
supporting him on Change.org, his lawyers were able to secure a landmark
settlement from UCLA. But Dr. Head was far from the only faculty member to
experience racism at UCLA.
In fact, a shocking new study reveals that the problem is extremely
widespread. As a national board member of the NAACP who lives in Los Angeles
, I am abhorred that a prestigious public university like UCLA would turn a
blind eye to the systematic degradation of its non-white faculty members.
That's why I started a petition on Change.org calling on California's
attorney general, Kamala Harris, to launch an investigation into racism at
UCLA to determine if civil rights laws have been violated and to recommend
solutions. Click here to sign my petition.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the recent campus-wide study of racism at
UCLA -- led by former California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno --
said that UCLA regularly ignored complaints about discrimination and
retaliation. One Latino professor reported being called a racial slur by a
colleague in front of his students. He says he was told that reporting what
happened to him would only "cause more trouble."
Since UCLA refuses to take action to address systemic racism on campus, it's
time for Attorney General Harris to step in.
As a strong woman of color in California leadership, Attorney General Harris
is uniquely positioned to take swift and decisive action to address UCLA's
pernicious culture of discrimination. I know that if thousands of people
sign my petition, Attorney General Harris will respond, just as a petition
created key pressure to enable Dr. Head to win his settlement from UCLA.

an investigation into systemic racism at UCLA.
