Even here on DU, there was a shocking display of racism against Chinese Americans. And she is an American under the law. As we seen with racism in this country, the law isnt always equally applied and we are seeing this injustice today.
I hope with time Biden can rid this racism within the government and your wife may be able to reapply in the future. I think its very important we keep our elected leaders accountable to do whats right and not just give them a pass because they are Dems and not TFG.
For a parallel, Im still deeply disappointed with the abandonment of the Afghan interpreters and SIV holders who served along our troops for years, risking their lives and the lives of their families. We abandoned the majority of them to the Taliban even though promises were made. Im hoping the veteran community that has served with the interprets can be their voice in correcting this wrong. Not sure what can be done at this point, but this history must not be forgotten.
Nothing will change unless we demand better and remember these miscarriages of our values.
I know you mentioned that your tried writing to Congress but received little help. Are there any media organizations that would pick this up as an example of anti-Asian discrimination. Maybe also write a letter to President Biden telling your story?
Im hoping that things work out in the long run. Youre a good man and faithful to your wife
