I am Asian-American. I believe that Black lives matter.

It is egregious that I still need to reiterate this time and again. In light of recent events at the University of Missouri, Yale University, Ithaca College, the University of Kansas, and many other universities across the country, it’s clear that we need to collectively confront the everyday racism—anti-Black racism in particular—that pervades institutions of higher education. While it may be tempting to detach ourselves, as Barnard and Columbia students, from events occurring at other universities, we need to acknowledge the fact that Columbia remains a hostile space for students of color, especially Black students.

As Sofia Petros-Gouin, CC ’19, pointed out in her incredibly salient op-ed, Columbia is not necessarily better than Yale. Columbia is not necessarily any more inclusive than Mizzou. We are not above this conversation.
