Okay, friends. We're doing this again. Time to meet the Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. This week's Angry Reader is Vincent Fang.
Who are you?
I am a graduating senior political science and policy studies major with a minor in Asian/Asian American Studies at Syracuse University.
What are you?
I am a second generation Asian American. I am an older brother to two, a role model and a student of my many mistakes.
Where are you?
Currently, I am in Syracuse University but I am looking forward to being in Washington DC for an internship in exactly one month!
Where are you from?
Born and raised in Astoria, Queens, New York City is where I call home. (Yes, I am REALLY from New York!) However, my love for our capital will always occupy a space within me.
What do you do?
I am the Political Education Chair for ASIA (Asian Students in America), a student organization on campus. I host workshops and discussions on Asian American socioeconomic issues on campus.
In New York City, I was the summer coordinator for Chinatown Youth Initiatives, a for-youth, by youth non-profit. As I handed down the reigns of the flagship program, Summer Leadership Institute, I have transitioned to become a member of the CYI Working Group.
What are you all about?
I am all about Asian Americans and politics. As a former intern of both APAICS (Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies) and the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, I hope to see the political pipeline for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders continue to grow. One day, I hope to run for public office and give back to all that this community has given me.
What makes you angry?
"Why should I care? It doesn't affect me" or "I think you’re being overly sensitive about this."
