I ended up crying at a Starbucks. It is crazy how this was released in 1982 and more than 20 years later, similar tragedies are happening. The scene where Radio Raheem died from police brutality was so hard…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewI was glad to hear that San Diego is the county that accepts the most refugees, but this doesn’t change the fact that so many people have prejudices against refugees. Our discussion on Monday was on ways we can change this. There were some different views. Some, like myself, mentioned somewhat of an individualistic approach- educating and i…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewWhen reading about the sanctuary cities, I couldn’t help but to think about how arbitrary, just like immigration was. Where does one draw the line, in this country, to say some people are safe or not? One can go a little bit out of a county that is supposed to protect, and can lose all that protection. Just like we talked about in class, I do t…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewHistory has a tendency to repeat itself and that is what I kept thinking during this week’s readings and discussions. I agree that getting citizenship is so arbitrary and the history shows how exclusive and racialized the system is. Even in our history, it shows how hard and at sometimes, impossible to gain citizenship. History cannot be erased a…[Read more]

It is just so crazy to me how we were always brought up, learning that police are almost like the superheroes of our neighborhood. They were there to protect us and save us from harm, yet, my eyes have opened. With the help of technology, I have seen that this…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewFrom the readings, a question was catalyzed. Why are there patterns of “White Flight” and why is there a problem of homeownership in places with a concentration of a certain group of minorities? From my personal experience, this is a concept that is so familiar to me because I live in Los Angeles and I visit an area in Los Angeles called “th…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewKurashige’s reading was a very good read for me because it uses Los Angeles as an example on how they tried to integrate the different cultures in the community. I was born and raised my entire life in Koreatown, Los Angeles. It was interesting to see more in depth of the history of not only Los Angeles, but Asian Americans. This article shows t…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewThis week’s topics and readings were a great way to begin this course because it started off with ways in which the modern city is characterized. Although, the readings showed that some cities are characterized as being compassionate and diverse, that is not actually the case. Also, someone in our class said it best when she said how that was, “…[Read more]
