Asian Americans fight stereotypes that they re all successful, don t deal with racism and are quiet. Author: Nelson Garcia Updated: 9:57 PM MDT May 9, 2021
GOLDEN, Colo. In an age when first impressions are often made on a screen, preconceived notions can be magnified, and they re something Rath Preap wants to change. I was actually born in the country of Cambodia, came to America when I was very young, Preap said.
He is a graduating senior at the Colorado School of Mines, where he has to be good math and science regardless of his background. Preap grew up in Denver and Aurora said he knows what it s like to be stereotyped.

The mass shooting in Atlanta on March 16, which took the lives of six Asian women among the eight victims, appears to be a one-off event – the violent act of a deeply troubled 21-year-old man who, according to what he told the police, was trying to wipe away sexual temptation, in the form of massage parlors that he felt guilty patronizing.
But that s not how the incident was treated by the Asian American commentariat. Instead, a consensus quickly formed among journalists, scholars, and cultural figures writing op-eds and giving broadcast interviews that the shooting represented a pervasive, historical victimization by Asian people at the hands of the white majority. It was almost as if shootings of Asian women by white gunmen were an everyday occurrence, rather than a singular, exceedingly rare event.
