Executive Director Wang on WDET Radio

American Citizens for Justice Executive Director Frances Kai-Hwa Wang was interviewed today live on WDET Radio's Detroit Today about US-Canada Border Security, as well as the resurgence of anti-Asian hate crimes in the current recession.

We are in favor of secure borders, of course, but the question is how that is carried out. We are very concerned about racial profiling of Americans at the US-Canadian border. We are working hard to make sure that all Americans are treated fairly and equally and are not profiled based on stereotypes about their ethnicity or race or national origin or name.

We are also very concerned about anti-Asian hate crimes during the current recession. We are educating Asian Pacific Americans how to identify and respond to hate crimes, networking and building multiracial coalitions with other civil rights groups, and educating the mainstream that Asian Pacific Americans are Americans, too.
