It's really not just academia where this occurs. In Hollywood and in everyday life, it seems to be acceptable for people to make fun of/mock Asian cultures, whereas they wouldn't (or they would think twice about it) do the same with most other minorities. I think the problem is that there's no repercussions to shit talking and stereotyping people who generally avoid trouble. What will it take for people to respect Asian Americans the same way that other minorities are respected?
