There are 2 question of this assignment. 

 question 1. This week’s AAS100 theme touches on different forms of anti-Asian violence involving 9/11 and homeland security AND America’s political means that some Asian Americans have taken to bring justice to their experiences with institutional racism and discrimination. 

Read and watch 1, 2, and 3 about Wen Ho Lee carefully; focus on the important-major AAS100 issues (Asian Pacific American experiences);  

Write a 3-fully-developed-paragraph paper about the three major AAS100 issues, from the less to the more important order; begin your response with a specific thesis statement such as:

             The two most important AAS100 issues that Wen Ho Lee faced are:

            (a) … ; and (b) … .

So, the first paragraph of your response must be short and simple, indicating just the thesis in the form provided (= The two most important … (a)… and (b) … .).

Then, analyze (a) and (b) one by one; each/paragraph (in what order?).  Relate your discussion to APAE8.26 to secure the most persuasive answer.

question 2.  Respond to the following question (in 1 fully-developed paragraph) Peter Chua argues that “U.S. Asian communities have been severely affected” [since 9/11] by DHS’ practices of institutional racism, “regardless of citizenship status.”  Who are the specific Asian Pacific American groups Chua identifies as most often targeted by the DHS security measures and why?  How are their immigration rights violated? 

Thank you!
