1) The document discusses the experiences of Lou Jing, a mixed-race Chinese-American woman who competed in a Chinese talent show, and Yumi Wilson, a mixed-race Japanese-American woman who feels more connected to her Asian heritage.
2) Both Lou Jing and Wilson formed strong bonds with their mothers who were their primary influence in developing their racial identities, despite facing questions about whether they are "truly" Chinese or Asian.
3) As societies become more globalized, the document argues that more mixed-race individuals will exist and hopes people can become more accepting of multiple racial identities.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. • The story of Lou Jing, dubbed Chocolate Girl
and Black Pearl, reminds us that claiming
one’s own identity, as Tiger Woods and
President Obama have done in the United
States, is not as easily done in many parts of
Asia.
4. • Indeed, many people have publicly questioned
whether Lou Jinghad a “right” to even
compete in a show for Chinese contestants.
Time Magazine ran the headline, “Can a
Mixed-Race Contestant Become a Chinese
Idol?”
5. • Lou Jing was born in Shanghai. She speaks
Mandarin. She has never met her American
father. The only identity she has known is that
of a young Chinese woman.
• In the same way, the only identity I have
known, for many years, is that of an American
woman. It is only through my most recent
trips to Asia that I can see I am no more
American than I am Asian.
6. • In my recent trip to Japan, a short trip to Osaka,
most people started off the conversation with me
in Japanese. It was only when I halted did they
switch to English. Perhaps pops stars such as
Crystal Kay have paved a way for me, making it
easier for Japanese people to expect a mixed-race
person to understand a language that has
become foreign to me.
•
8. • But then, this same rationale would not
account for my treatment in Vietnam, where
most people assumed that I would speak
Japanese. In both of these cases, I felt more
Asian than American. This feeling, though
perhaps obvious to some, was unexpected,
yet welcome
9. • For many years, I have tried to disassociate
from a country that disowned my Japanese
mother, first for being a prostitute – and then
for marrying a black man. It would not be a
stretch to say that some readers, judging from
their online comments, would like to see Lou
Jing do the same thing.
10. • Thankfully, Lou Jing seems to remain steadfast
about one thing: She is Chinese. She speaks
Chinese. She lives in China. And her mother is
the most loving person she knows.
11. • This bond between mother and mixed-race
child offers further proof that a key factor in
forming racial identity is through the
relationship between a child and his parent or
parents, as noted in an important study on
racial identity published in the Journal of
Counseling Psychology in 2005:
•
12. • Without a doubt, parents seemed to be the single
most influential people in the development and
expression of participants’ racial identity. … In
general, it seemed that participants adopted the
racial– ethnic label of the parent to whom they
felt emotionally closest or whom they viewed as
most dominant in the household.
• Miville, Marie L. and Constantine, Madonna G. Chameleon Changes: An Exploration of Racial Identity Themes of Multiracial
People, Journal of Counseling Psychology by the American Psychological Association, 2005, Vol. 52, No. 4, 507-516
13. In my home, I culturally and ethnically bonded
with my Japanese mother, even though I was
forbidden from speaking the language after
the age of three or four.
14.
15. • And it is the Japanese culture that I bond with
most now, so many years later. Even though I
look African American or an amalgamation
thereof, I feel Japanese. Indeed, on my recent
trip to Osaka, I felt more at home in Japan –
than I do in Palo Alto, Orange County or
Sacramento, California.
16. • So in my home, I bonded with some elements
of my Japanese culture, and some elements of
my African American culture. Mostly, I became
a little lost in who I was, and where I
belonged. Mostly, I tried to fit in with society
by becoming “American.”
17. • And yet, I remained very close to my mother,
feeling very much the daughter of a Japanese
mother, a woman who was somewhat
reserved but caring.
18. • And this is where I see the connection
between Lou Jing and my own story: the
strong bond between mother and daughter:
If anything, their enduring bond as mother and
daughter only seems to have gotten stronger. After
all, for all their critics, there were just as many
supporters.
Emily Chang, CNN
19. • Indeed, some people are calling Lou Jing
names, telling her to get out of China or that
she's not really Chinese. Some, mostly
anonymous, are saying even harsher things,
and many in the media are focusing on the
issue of racism against blacks in China and
throughout Asia.
20. • And so, while it would be easier to say that
the story involving Lou Jing is another clear
example of racism in Asia, and a factor in
explaining why mixed-race people do not feel
truly at home in Asia, the story is much more
complicated than that – and the story is
evolving.
21. As China continues to open up, this kind of
phenomenon will become ever more prevalent,"
says David Zweig, a professor of humanities and
social sciences at the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology. This is part of the process
of internationalization, but we can only hope that
Chinese people, including netizens and the people
whose views tend towards extremism, can come
to accept that there are many mixed-race people,
both in China and worldwide.
