What about when you get to all the Wangs and Wongs?
A library and information studies lecturer was explaining random sampling and phone book usage to our class.
A White student raised her hand and asked, “What about when you get to like, the letter W and it’s all Chinese people?”
Lecturer’s response, “Well it would still be random sampling because they’re still all different people, aren’t they?”
I am Asian American and thrilled to have witnessed this anti-racist teaching moment.
