| Summary: | The most unequally treated people in America are not any one particular ethnic or gender group, but the immigrants. Because of their inability to survive in the mainstream, the Chinese immigrants are often labeled as racists by the equality activists, and most painfully, also by their own children. Racism is the major cause for the second generation to resent their parents' church. How was this label formed? Who is inflicting the real damage? Does integration necessarily bring equality for all? What is authentic crossing? This paper seeks to explore these hidden issues of marginality, power, and equality. |
