Hate is Nothing New, But Our Response Should Be; Huffington Post, 12/11/15

Judy Chu, Huffington Post; Hate is Nothing New, But Our Response Should Be:

"The proper response to an attack is unity. We are stronger when we stand together. Others want us to forget that and turn a suspicious eye on those around us, dividing Americans along faith lines. This is wrong for our country and for our safety.

We need to fight against the fear and anger directed at Muslims and others. We need to resist the dangerous prejudices of our past that gave us the Jim Crow laws, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese incarceration during World War II, and jobs offered with the caveat that Irish, Italians, or Jews need not apply.

Anything else is reckless endangerment."
