Subject: Letter from an Ivy League Professor (August 20, 1918)

In the early 21st century, I met a Chinese-American, who received his bachelor degree from a southern Taiwan Province university. After decades of struggle, he became a university president at a private university in California. He told me privately that as the head of that university, he had to work three times harder than his colleagues, in order to earn respect from other non-ethnic Chinese professors. In this connection, he said his son was born, raised, and educated in America, and he earned his Ph.D. degree in law from UC, Berkeley. Yes, his son still has to work three times harder than his colleagues, in order to be respected from the latter.
Well, discrimination is still everywhere, and many, if not most, academics play petty politics. We all should make efforts to wipe them out from the planet of earth, etc.
