Do Jewish deny their identity to gain college admissions???

    Some AsAms uttered: "They did not win.  They just stopped to show they were Jews!"   Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.  What a joke!

    Jewish Ams are no longer timid, if they ever were.  They sacrificed their money and time to build up their political clout so that they no longer face discrimination in the US. 

    Two years ago, Asian Ams were called "The New Jews?", by Pulitzer-winning reporter Paul Golden, because AsAms faced discriminations in college admissions just like the Jews of decades ago.  My question is:  When will we be like the Jews and sacrifice our money and time to build up our political clout so that our children will ALSO have EQUAL opportunity in college admissions?

   Tolerating a situation where our offspring seriously consider DENYING their heritage is a collective cowardly act of the Asian Am community.  Be the one to stand up for our children.

                               Looking At Facts

    The Jewish population in the US is 6 million, or 2% of the population.   The average Ivy League admission rate (% Jewish students) is 8.1%, which is 4 times more than its population percentage.  

    The AsAm population is 17 million or 5.65% of the US population.  If we multiple 5.65 by 4, it is 22.4%.  The average admission rate for AsAms in Ivy League schools is about 18%.  So why do some AsAms think that there are too many Asian Ams in Ivy League schools? 

    Maybe it is because they aren't aware of the above facts yet?  Maybe they didn't know that Asian Ams are much more diverse, and originate from so many different nations in Asia.

    For proof of the numbers reported above, click here for a detailed report of the % of Jewish admission rate in each of the 50 first tier schools, which include all IVY schools.  It is entitled "The Top 50 Colleges With Active Jewish Communities."  

    Jewish Ams know the importance of maintaining their HERITAGE & self-esteem.  They also know that they must fight for their children's equal opportunity in college admissions.

                       How to Improve the Situation

    80-20 works with "Students for Fair Admissions" organized by Edward Blum in its suit against Harvard and Univ. of N. Carolina.  See how we are doing well in the court of public  opinion.   USA Today, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, LA Times, and Atlantic Magazine all published positive articles speaking up for a fair admissions policy for AsAm students .

                          

    80-20 is the ONLY AsAm national organization fighting for our students. Will you join the ranks and do your share?

 Dear Fellow Chinese Americans*,

   I write this with a heavy heart and the future of our fruitful existence in this 

country as a minority population in mind.  Whether it is college admission for our children, welfare benefit for our seniors, and equal treatment before the law, there are no free lunches. One does not get benefits handed to you on a silver platter. You do not automatically get what you deserve but what you are willing to fight for. 

   Many of the welfare/benefit we and our seniors enjoy today are won on the lives and broken head and limbs of the African American some 50 years ago. Those of you watched the Selma march commemoration on TV know. Jewish Americans with only half of the population of Asian Americans has a political action committee, AIPAC, that operates with an annual budget 670 (yes, six hundred seventy) times larger than the Asian America counterpart, the 80-20 Initiative (67 million vs 100K per year). This is what I hope to bend your ears for just a couple of minutes of your time.

    I have been working continuously with 80-20 since day one 16 years ago and have witnessed the many accomplishments she has brought about for our population. These you may know and can find on her website. No need for me to repeat them here. 

    A year ago, 80-20 launched a campaign of raising an endowment of five million dollars in five years, called the SELF fund, for the organization to insure her long term survival. Sad to say, today the total raised is way behind schedule. The Board of Donors of the SELF fund, which is a group of 15 individuals charged with the task of helping the SELF fund raising, and in which I am a member, realize that while you can lead a horse to the water, you cannot force the horse to drink the water. As a group, Chinese Americans are not poor. But if 80-20 cannot raise fund successfully, then either she is not doing a worthy job or our message is not getting through. Thus, the board of donors decided to conduct an experiment. We voted that "each of us shall do our best to raise $2800.00 in the next two weeks (from 3/11-3/25) for the 80-20 SELF fund". Thus, I am asking you to consider donating to 80-20 whatever you can immediately. Write a check or make a pledge payable  to the "80-20 Educational Foundation, SELF fund" now.

   As an added insurance that we don't waste your contribution, if 80-20 fails to reach her fund raising goal, we shall return your donation in full. And sadly 80-20 most likely will go out of existence. There is no use to linger on if the population does not support it even in a minimal way.

   As a supporter, I have done my part according to our leader, S.B. Woo,  that is,  donate till it hurts. I sincerely hope you can do whatever you feel appropriate. Many thanks for your time and consideration.      (Emphasis added by S. B. Woo)

Larry Yu-Chi Ho  - another of Our Best and Brightest

Have you ever heard of a professor who retired with TWO named Chairs? :-)

  

Well, Prof. Ho, a founder of 80-20, holds such an honor from Harvard, no less.  He holds the title of Gordon McKay Professor of Systems Engineering, Emeritus, and the T. Jefferson Coolidge Chair of Applied Mathematics, Emeritus.  Besides numerous awards, he is also a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.  

Larry cares greatly for our community, unlike some who have "made it."  80-20 likes to use this opportunity to salute another one of our community's best and the brightest.

PS:    Our Best and Brightest

    So many asked me who was the generous donor who gave $240,000 to SELF.  So I begged the donor to let her name be known.  She finally agreed.  

    She is Alice S. Huang.  She was a professor of microbiology and virology at Harvard and later at California Institute of Technology.  He was a Board member of 80-20 PAC for many years, as well as that of many big corporations and foundations.  She was the President & Chairperson of AAAS,   American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is  world's largest general  scientific society.  Her spouse is Dr. David Baltimore, a Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine.  Alice pilots her own airplane.  :-)

    80-20 likes to use this opportunity to salute one of our community's best and the brightest.   Together, we shall overcome.

The Clock is Ticking!

Good News Regarding SELF

(1)  Donation to SELF will be matched up to a lump sum of $10,000, until the 

matching fund is exhausted.  The generous matching is provided by Joseph H, 

and T.-W. Wang.

                                 Click HERE TO DONATE to SELF.

(2) The most generous donor to SELF has poured in $240,000, thereby

      paying up ALL 5-years of her commitment!   Click here and look for 

      Anonymous, Pasadena, CA  at the top of the page to verify.

(3) THANKS TO ALL DONORS, SELF's total received will soon exceed 

      $1,000,000, which is in an escrow account.  If SELF fails, all donations

      will be refunded in full.

             Good News on Seeking Justice for Officer Liang of NYPD

(a) 80-20 and Officer Liang' lawyer Steve Worth have connected.

(b) There was a demonstration of an estimated 3,000 participants on 3/8/2015 in NYC to support Officer Liang.  A demonstration is a group display of opinion. It could be used to express support for a cause, or display anger in public or both.

                      80-20 PAC Is Dying

     SELF is way behind its target to reach $1,000,000 per year for 5 years by Oct. 25, 2015.   The current commitment is only $415,900/yr for 5 yrs.  

     The old war-horses at 80-20, all volunteers, are retiring soon.  They hope to train a new generation of leaders, who owing to different times, understandably look for financial security while serving the Asian Am community.  That is why 80-20 must raise $1 million per year for 5 yrs. before the current leaders retire.  If the goal is NOT reached, 80-20 PAC will likely demise.   

    Are you willing to donate $100/yr or $1000/yr for 5 year to protect your rights and those of your children?
