The Pew Research Center's use of #WriteinTaiwanese

The Pew Research Center's use of #WriteinTaiwanese census data for their recent AAPI reports was disappointing, to say the least. ⁠
But luckily, we are not easily discouraged. We are still willing to do the work, to educate each other and the world around us. This is still who we are. We will keep making it count. ⁠
⁠
From just a cross-section of the many volunteers who made the @write.in.taiwanese.census campaign happen: ⁠
"There are so many ways to affirm our identities and our origin stories - on official documents, in everyday conversations, and in the organizations and communities we choose to lead. The census only counts us every ten years, but we are determined to be counted every day, in every way."⁠

Over the weekend, the organizers of the 2020 "Write in 'Taiwanese'" census campaign shared a statement on @taiwaneseam_org responding to a @pewresearch report on #AAPI communities that stated, in the footnotes, that data for Taiwanese respondents had been merged with that of Chinese Americans. You can read the full statement on our website. Over 450 people have signed as individuals and/or representatives of Taiwanese American organizations. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Today, @pewresearch responded via Twitter, stating that "it is difficult to directly identify Taiwanese Americans confidently and distinctively with the data from the Census Bureau we use in this research, we group people choosing Taiwanese race as part of the larger Chinese American population." ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You can read their full thread on the Pew Research Center twitter. This link in bio will instead direct you to a thread started by Catherine Chou (@catielila) about the limitations of their response: https://twitter.com/catielila/status/1389976179193442305

We're celebrating #APAHM, Mother's Day (this weeke

We're celebrating #APAHM, Mother's Day (this weekend! Don't panic!), AND the start of Taiwanese American Heritage Week by featuring Chinese and Taiwanese American Katrina Liu of @minalearnschinese:⁠
⁠
"Frustrated by the lack of engaging, accessible Chinese books with Pinyin and English, Katrina created her own book series, the most recent of which is “I Love Boba! 我愛珍珠奶茶!” Katrina identifies as Chinese and Taiwanese American; her husband is third-generation Chinese American. Katrina can speak some conversational Mandarin Chinese; her husband speaks only English. Neither read nor write Chinese, which is what makes this venture so special: these books aren’t developed for parents to teach Chinese to their children, but so parents can learn the language alongside them."⁠

Get to know Katrina, Mina, and this sweet gift from mother to daughter (really, to us all) here and in bio: http://www.taiwaneseamerican.org/2021/05/katrina-liu-on-asian-american-motherhood-mina-learns-chinese/⁠

It's only the third day of #APAHM 2021 and we're already emotional thinking about how far the landscape of Taiwanese American literature has come. Our post from 2007 about Taiwanese American writers, while not totally comprehensive, included 5 books. And, well, this picture from 2019 speaks for itself. Here's 50 books to add to your Taiwanese American library: http://www.taiwaneseamerican.org/2018/05/ta-book-list/⁠

Recently published reports by the Pew Research Cen

Recently published reports by the Pew Research Center analyzing Asian American communities have included footnotes that data for “‘Chinese’ includes those identifying as ‘Taiwanese.’” As of today (May 1 - the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month), the methodology for Pew Research Center’s Asian American fact sheets makes no reference to why explicitly “Taiwanese” data points were merged with “Chinese.” The organizers of the 2020 #WriteInTaiwanese @write.in.taiwanese.census campaign have written a joint statement to Pew Research Center @pewresearch and Associate Director of Race and Ethnicity Research Neil Ruiz about the intellectual dishonesty and community erasure of reports conflating Chinese & Taiwanese respondents. #taiwaneseamerican #taiwanese #asianamericanhistory #apahm Linked here and in bio:

We've been seeing #LetTaiwanHelp from global leaders all day (and we agree!). But the Taiwanese and diasporic Taiwanese communities have known all along that #TaiwanCanHelp. From community organization Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California, a grassroots video campaign: "In the face of so much tragedy, both natural and manmade, I urge you to control the controllable and make decisions that reflect the best of what we can be: inclusive, smart, and morally firm" ⁠

Today, @taiwaneseam_org joined activists from Burma/Myanmar, Thailand, and Hong Kong for a pro-democracy Milk Tea Alliance rally. First coined by netizens, the term Milk Tea Alliance describes the solidarity movement among the activists from Asian countries struggling for freedom, democracy, and human rights. Member countries include Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand, and more. #whatshappeninginmyanmar #milkteaalliance #keeptaiwanfree #freethailand #freehongkong

From Minnie Sun: “Rejection of a geographic labe

From Minnie Sun:
“Rejection of a geographic label for a virus that did, indeed, spread from China, is not to ignore that fact. It is not acquiescence to the Chinese government's failure to notify proper authorities, censorship of key information, and silencing of dissidents. Holding responsible parties accountable and not further harming Asians in the West are not mutually exclusive; rather, it is doing the Asian diaspora a disservice to not acknowledge the significance of our words, no matter our intention. Especially for those in a position of authority––governmental agencies, politicians, and community leaders: perennial refusal to recognize the consequences of anything shy of explicit racism is recklessness that borders immorality.” Full article linked here and in bio: https://english.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=2962

SF BAY AREA: For the very first time in San Franci

SF BAY AREA: For the very first time in San Francisco, activists from Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand plan to hold a Milk Tea Alliance Rally together to highlight their common struggle for freedom on Saturday, April 24, 2021, 1-3PM, at the Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco, California. The event is jointly organized by the Free Burma Action Committee (FBAC), the Northern California Hong Kong Club, San Francisco Hong Kongers, Thai Rights Now, @taiwaneseam_org and Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California. As suggested by the term coined by the netizens, the Milk Tea Alliance describes the solidarity movement among the activists from Asian countries struggling for freedom, democracy, and human rights. The movement takes on a sense of urgency lately due to the political turmoil and persecutions of activists in Burma, Hong Kong, Thailand, and beyond. Masks are required and social distancing protocols will be observed; TAFNC will distribute Made in Taiwan face masks on site. FB event info linked here and in bio: https://fb.me/e/2lZ0gJKel?ti=icl
