I’m not demanding anything. But if you’re feeling powerless, being helpful is more edifying than being angry. Love > hate.

To the extent things have gotten better, the militant campus organizing in the wake of Vietnam (from which we get the term "Asian-American" in the first place) probably has more to do with it than people spontaneously feeling bad about WWII

Of course it has to do with that. But they were fighting with a goal. You aren’t. You’re bitching on Twitter and RTing your own Tweets because this is just about validation for you.
