Kim Phuc was pictured in a world-famous and iconic photograph from the Vietnam war, running naked from an airborne attack, horribly burned with napalm, in June of 1972. Since then, Kim has found peace, and a message she can offer, borne of her suffering.
She runs The Kim Foundation International, and she acts as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNESCO. She has transformed into a viable, visible symbol of peace and hope. Hers is an important story of resilience, courage, and forgiveness.

Jury Recommends 30-Day Sentence for Sergeant in Army Hazing Case That Led to Death of Asian American Private →
The jury also said the sergeant, Adam M. Holcomb, should be reduced one rank, to specialist, and be fined $1,181.55.
Sergeant Holcomb had faced a sentence of up to two years in prison and a punitive discharge.
On Monday, the jury found him guilty of two counts of maltreatment and one count of assault. But he was acquitted on charges of negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, communicating a threat and hazing.
The verdict was a blow to military prosecutors, who had sought at the court-martial here to show that Sergeant Holcomb’s treatment of Private Chen, which the prosecutors said included hazing and racial taunts, led directly to his suicide.
Supporters of Private Chen’s family, who reacted with disappointment to the verdict, expressed more dismay over the sentencing, calling it too lenient.
Just another typical day in the United States of America.
hey guys, remember that time two white dudes spent zero days in jail and paid $3000 in exchange for a chinese-american man’s life?
yeah not much has changed

their faces as they cant figure out what stereotype to slap on you

Sometimes I sap the fun out of the game by just saying I’m Chinese right off the bat, like “Hello, nice to meet you, Chinese”. That usually takes the issue off the table. Not always, though, a fair amount of white people still come back with something like “Oh I wouldn’t have guessed that, I was thinking Japanese!” Well okay then. Actually, Asians also guess wrong all the time — Chinese think I’m Chinese, Koreans think I’m Korean, Japanese think I’m Japanese — so non-Asians shouldn’t even attempt it.

Took me awhile to figure it out. Think I actually had it figured out, but denied it- the reason why I was depressed and going through the motions. It only took a failed attempt at a relationship. Looking at it now, I’m glad she “rejected” me. There was something wrong. I was wrong.
I wasn’t being…
