QUOTE: [My] involvement in the Strike was a direct reaction to how I was raised and educated in America. By the end of high school, self-hate was pretty much my MO and I despised my parents for being Chinese and "holding" me back from making friends. My anger towards myself and white people served as the springboard to being involved with the Strike.
