I would like to express my concern about the recent MA Bill H.3361,
regarding the disaggregation of Asian Americans in Massachusetts, and I urge
you to oppose this bill for many reasons.
First, the intent of this bill is to identify and subdivide groups of people
of Pacific Islander and Asian descent. This in itself does not necessarily
pose a problem, rather it is the very likely consequence of this subdivision
that is my concern. In the past, this information has led to many
discriminatory actions. Under President Chester A. Arthur, the Chinese
exclusion act singled out Chinese Americans and took away their rights. This
lasted up until 1943, when it was finally repealed. Just 2 years before
that, the Japanese internment camps, which forcibly removed Japanese
American citizens from their homes and moved them into concentration camps.
Both of these actions were tremendous injustices, and should never be
repeated again. But we are almost at the point of enabling that to happen.
This data collected by the bill, if passed, would allow these atrocities to
happen again. There is genuine fear that such data will be used for immoral
and evil purposes, which may yet again show the true colors of subdivision
and labeling.
Next, this bill will segregate Asians to an even further extent. Currently,
the most recent 2010 US Census states that Asian Americans compose 5.6% of
the population. Currently, the races recognized by the US Government are:
White, African American, American Indian, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific
Islander. With 72% of the population being white and 12% being African
American, it seems highly inefficient and questionable to divide the Asian
American population to even smaller subsections but leave the other larger
populations as their own groups. Why then, is there a need to disaggregate
the population? Some people say that there is a large diversity in the Asian
American population, but that holds just as much truth for the White
population or the African American population. Or economic reasons, the
diversity is present in other populations. So why divide the Asian American
population and leave the other ones intact for no substantial reason?
Furthermore, this bill fails to differentiate between ethnicity and national
origin. For example, China officially recognizes 56 ethnicities among its
citizens, such as Han, Hmong, Uyghur, or Mongolian. So by identifying
someone as merely "Chinese", or "Filipino", or "Korean" hardly defines a
person's true ethnic and cultural background. In addition, a person's
citizenship does not necessarily decide that person's socioeconomic
situation or their education status. Thus, the tactics to subdivide only the
5 most common Asian ethnicites would fail to account for many people who do
not fit exactly into any of them. These outline the evident problems with
this bill, that the system cannot verify the accuracy nor the integrity of
the data gathered. By allowing the bill to pass, it overlooks the
compounding problems by lumping ethnicities together and generalizing people
of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
As you are aware, the Asian American community is working to ensure the
social and economic advancement of those with Asian ethnicites, and to
eliminate discrimination. This bill will dissolve the bonds between the
Asian American community and reverse the efforts made to ensure the safety
and well-being of Asians. Even when the intention of attaining a goal is
good, the methods used to achieve it can be harmful. This bill will bring
about even more discrimination, and serves to intensify the impacts of
racism. So I passionately encourage you to vote against this bill for the
security of all Asian Americans, and to continue fighting against the chains
of racism and discrimination.
Thank you for your consideration of this pressing issue！

亚裔行亚裔就上。牛逼人才带来的技术革新将会从历史上、战略性、永久性地把人类解

所说，“当富人家家都灯火通明时, 我们穷人不用点灯就能借光”。也是同样的道理。
