Americans Not All Caucasian
Letters
To the editors:
Re "Valentines and Veritas" by Lisa Brennan-Jobs (News, Feb. 13): Besides the fact that no Caucasians and hardly any men were cited in the article (implying that interracial relationships are a minority women's issue), the author failed to modify an obviously mistaken quotation.
Angela Ng contrasts "Asian men" and "American men." What's wrong with this picture? Maybe Ng was unaware that many Americans are also Asian, but Brennan-Jobs (or her editor) should have been aware that "American" does not equal "Caucasian." A better newspaper would have supplemented the quotation with a correction in brackets ("American [non-Asian] men"). CHENGHUAN CHU '00 Feb. 13, 1998
