SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In his upcoming book, "Beyond the Bamboo Curtain" Dr. Michael Soon Lee explains why, of all minorities, Asians feel that the U.S. has made a great deal or a fair amount of progress in ensuring racial equality in the last 60 years since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous speech. According to an April 2023 Pew Research poll, 58% of whites agreed with that sentiment while Asians were the next highest at 47%, Hispanics at 45%, and Blacks were lowest at 30%.

Key Points:

According to an April 2023 Pew Research poll, 58% of whites agreed with that sentiment while Asians were the next highest at 47%, Hispanics at 45%, and Blacks were lowest at 30%.
In Dr. Lee's upcoming book, "Beyond the Bamboo Curtain," he explains that Asian Americans have achieved a great deal of racial equality since King's speech because they have been granted "Yellow Privilege" which is almost as good as "White Privilege."
Lee explains why Asian privileges include a median household income and educational attainment that exceeds all groups, including Whites.
On the other hand, this diverse group has the largest wealth gap and is least likely to be promoted, despite having the highest level of education.

We are proud to announce the formation of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC), a new, national coalition of running brands, running retailers, and runners representing Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), brought together through our love of running and dedicated to ending the existing systemic racism in the running industry and running community.

Key Points:

We are proud to announce the formation of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC), a new, national coalition of running brands, running retailers, and runners representing Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), brought together through our love of running and dedicated to ending the existing systemic racism in the running industry and running community.
My naive bias allowed me to promote an openness to running stores and the running industry that was not the truth for BIPOC runners.
There is white privilege, white power and systemic racism in almost all industries, and the running industry is no different.
I am optimistic that the running industry and running communities will take this work to heart and make a real impact.
