Duckworth and Hirono are right. Asian Americans deserve more than tokenism from Biden.
“ Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial or ethnic group in America, according to the Pew Research Center, and represented nearly 5% of the eligible voting-age population in 2020. That's double what it was in 2000, and a 139% rise.
Exit polls show a similar spike in election participation. Asian Americans made up 4% of voters in 2020 (twice as high as in 2008) and 61% of them voted for Biden.”
“ No Asian American Cabinet secretaries
The 117th Congress is the most racially and ethnically diverse in history. Asian Americans account for about 6% of the population but only 3% of the House.Contrast that with our friends in the Black community, who make up 13.4% of the population and 13% of House members.
As violence against Asian Americans has skyrocketed and precipitated a long overdue national conversation about racism against our community, a parallel conversation about lack of Asian American and Pacific Islander representation in government has begun.
While Biden named Katherine Tai as U.S. trade representative, a Cabinet-level appointment, it did not go unnoticed within the AAPI community that he picked a zero Asian American Cabinet secretaries and just one deputy secretary. According to the Asian Pacific American Institute of Congressional Studies, this is the first time in more than 20 years that no Asian American or Pacific Islander is serving as a Cabinet secretary.
Furthermore, not one of the three formal White House Policy Councils is headed by an AAPI, nor are there any Asian Americans among the ranks of chief of staff, deputy chiefs of staff, senior advisers, communications director, press secretary or deputy press secretary.”
