“I wince when I hear conservative pundits shout about how discrimination no longer exists. As a country, we still have a long way to go. Yet when I consider Obama’s record and his unique talents, I do put aside my own sense of entitlement based on my racial identity and believe again in the American dream. I still feel strongly about my Asian-American identity and at the same time I am called to common ground with my fellow citizens.”
