"Daniel Dae Kim
statement to the
U.S. House
Committee"
by Daniel Dae Kim
(1) We cannot simply be painted with the broad
brush of assumption that the most successful of us
represent the totality of us. (2) Within ourselves we
are a proud and diverse diaspora, (3) but to those
who believe the foolish rhetoric of terms like the
“China virus” or the “kung flu,” which some of the
members of this very body have been heard to
utter, all that matters is that we look different –
different enough to attack. (4) And attack
regardless of where in Asia our ancestry may be
from, or more discouragingly, whether we may
even be fellow Americans.
