AABA Newsletter AABA Newsletter WWW.AABA - BAY.COM DECEMBER 2011 President’s Column By Malcolm Yeung December 2011 San Francisco has its first elected Asian American Mayor. Mayor Edwin Lee, the keynote speaker at the 2011 AABA Installation Dinner, was elected by an overwhelming majority of voters (after ranked choice voting) this past November 8. After being here for over 160 years, Asian Americans have our first elected chief executive. The election of San Francisco’s first Asian American mayor is in and of itself a notable benchmark. But this moment is particularly important when put in the context of the bleak anti-Asian history of San Francisco. San Francisco was, after all, the birth place of the nation’s first organized anti-Asian movement. It was the geographic focal point of the organizing that led to the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. That’s why I cannot overlook the disturbing anti-Asian undertone that blemished this last election period. What began as criticism of Mayor Lee’s association with notable friends, including former Mayor Willie Brown and Chinatown community leader Rose Pak, turned into a concentrated series of attacks on Chinatown community leaders who supported the Mayor. When reviewing press clippings, it is clear that the vast majority of “hits” against Mayor Lee were tied to his relationships in Chinatown. These attacks relied on allegations and racialized innuendo to paint a narrative of Chinatown “pay to play” political corruption that included attacks against me and a number of other credible, long standing Chinatown leaders. The attacks against me suggested that my recent transition from a post at the non-profit Chinatown Community Development Center into the Mayor’s office as an affordable housing advisor was a political payoff. Not once were my qualifications and experience as a leader in the affordable housing advocacy arena ever mentioned. The attacks against Mayor Ed Lee even descended into Red Scare type rhetoric. The chair of the local Democratic Party called Ed Lee a “puppet” of Rose Pak and the People’s Republic of China, suggesting 2 AABA NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2011 that a Mayor Lee administration would conflict language press denouncing this activity. And with “American democratic values.” Others he continued to hold and even increase voter attempted to draw comparisons between Mayor outreach and education events in the Richmond Lee’s campaign strategy and those of Chairman and Chinatown. Mao Zedong. The lack of a concerted, coordinated response No less reprehensible were the unfounded from our community to these racially tinged attacks allegations of illegal voter assistance activity on our candidates, community leaders, and in Chinatown, which were dismissed outright immigrant voters diminishes us all. This failure by the Director of the Department of Elections. to step up made it much too easy for campaigns This determination, unfortunately, didn’t deter a to use racialized motifs and stereotypes to seed a number of campaigns and media from continuing “sensationalized” narrative of corruption. And, to press this narrative. it might have worked if not for San Francisco’s unique concentration of Asian American voters. Cumulatively, these attacks suppressed advocacy, outreach, and education activities in Asian Not only does San Francisco consist of over 30% American immigrant communities throughout Asian Americans, we have a Mayor who has spent San Francisco. Many Chinatown leaders were over three decades forging a relationship with intimidated into staying on the “sidelines.” Many this community. This record of service was not Chinatown serving non-profits who normally forgotten by the Chinese media, which provided a do voter education simply stopped. In the end, much more measured degree of coverage, or by this hurt immigrant voters who need and want Chinese American voters. assistance in voting, especially with the added complication of a ranked choice ballot.

YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.

  • 1 Chinatown Subway: Name It After a Truly Great Hero, Not Rose Pak
    1875 L Street NW, Suite 400, Washington DC, 20006 Office: (202) 697-3858 Email: [email protected] Chinatown Subway: Name it After a Truly Great Hero, not Rose Pak Dear SFMTA Board Members, Congratulations on the new subway stop in Chinatown. That is a huge accomplishment, for which Rose Pak may deserve some credit, though not the high honor of having her name immortalized on a San Francisco landmark. Naming a geographic feature after an individual deserves true greatness, and we can think of no better person than Liu Xiaobo, a philosopher, poet, and human rights activist who won a Nobel Peace prize. Alternatively, we would suggest naming the subway stop as simply Chinatown, which represents all the great diversity of the neighborhood over the many decades of its flourishing. Rose Pak, unfortunately, has a history that makes her inappropriate as a true hero of the Chinese people, or of San Francisco. China uses influence tactics, especially through its United Front Work Department, to compromise U.S. democracy, and democracies around the world. The most horrendous examples of this are in East Turkistan, where 1-3 million minorities have been locked up due to their beliefs, in Tibet, where Buddhist monasteries are torn down, against the Falun Gong, who are subject to forced organ transplants, and in Hong Kong, where the hopes of over a million people who have marched to demand freedom and democracy from the Chinese Communist Party are being suppressed through police brutality. As discussed below, this is not the right time to honor someone who has been closely associated with China's dictatorship.
