目前席卷美国的新民权运动，以墨西哥和南美西裔美国移民为主体，大有５０－６０年代美国非裔发起的民权运动的声势。其实这些西裔，属于美国法定的少数族裔，在教育、就业等方面，已经是平权法案的受益者。真正吃了亏也不吱声的，就是我们这些亚裔。我们的子女在美国，因为个别人太出色，在教育和就业方面，不被当做少数民族对待。而且亚裔在先天方面，有语言、文化、肤色、和心理上的障碍。
下面的这个图表，就是美国百人会作出来的一个抽样调查。根据２００２年美国人口普查的资料，在美国公民中，我们的亚裔子女（AsAms）平均拥有最高的学历和教育水平（31.0% 大学毕业, 10.5% 硕士学位, and 3.0% 博士学位－包括太平洋岛国, 美国平均水平：分别为 17.7%-6.3%-1.2%) 可是被提升为业务主管和在联邦政府就职的机会最低。这是明显的种族歧视。
所以，不管你的孩子学习成绩再好，上的学校再名牌，如果不及早行动起来，今后他们在就业问题上仍然会受到美国主流社会和美国国家的歧视。
《国际歌》里面说，世上没有救世主。美国也有一句老话：天底下没有免费的午餐！
因此，美国的亚裔们，至少我们中国人，要联合起来！
Great News that Makes You Sad: Equal Employment
"Irrefutable evidence," said 80-20 of the chart below. Is it true? Yes. EEOC, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in a series of meetings and communications with 80-20 EF between 12/13/05 and 4/12/06 has just verified its validity. This chart can now be presented as evidence before Congressional hearings and in court proceedings, by 80-20 or by any AsAm individual filing a discrimination suit.
Getting that verification is a giant step forward in winning equal opportunity at work for AsAms. Hence, GREAT NEWS! EEOC reports directly to the President. 
The chart shows that AsAms face the WORST glass ceiling to enter the managerial class in "private industries," "universities " and "Federal government," where 2.1 million of us work!
In that sense, it is also such SAD NEWS! What has caused it?
Is it because some of us are timid, or are uncaring about our children's future or have a "slave mentality" that we sat back and did nothing?
NO! It's only because we didn't have hard facts to act upon. Now that 80-20 has gotten such powerful facts verified, let's unite and ACT TO WIN our equal opportunity.
Please do your share.
1) Forward this email to as many AsAms as possible. We must create a community-wide awareness first, and then unite, and
Take another look at the chart above. See how other groups' "Group Political Clout" makes a difference. 80-20 is your only hope to establish AsAm political clout. If you need further explanation or detail about the chart, see:
