Michelle Malkin: Walang Hiya
Michelle Malkin is a Filipino American who was born in the US in 1970 to Filipino parents. Filipinos are the second largest group of Asian immigrants in the US, and their presence has not always been appreciated.
Historically, Filipinos have been treated as second class citizens in the US. In Northern California in the 1920s and 1930s there used to be signs that read “No dogs and no Filipinos allowed.” Anti-Filipino riots broke out and Filipinos in the US at that time were victims of racial violence. Miscegenation laws prevented Filipinos from marrying Caucasians in many states, and this held in some states until 1967 when the Supreme Court found such laws unconstitutional.

September 11th Changed Everything for a small boy in the Philippines
Master (I use the term “Master” as a title because I didn’t hear his first name) Andrada was only 7 years old when the terrorist attack on the twin towers occurred but it has deeply affected his life. Master Andrada wasn’t in NY city at the time of the attack. In fact, he’s never been to the United States. This boy was born and has lived his entire life halfway around the world in the Philippines.
Master Andrada has become obsessed with the topic of the Twin Towers attack. At first he began to draw pictures of it.

Photo Essay and poem from Protest in St Paul Minnesota
Around 2000 persons met at the St Paul Cathedral on Saturday afternoon (September 15) to hear anti-war speeches from veterans and others before heading as a group to the Excel Energy Center, the site of the upcoming Republican National Convention. After reaching the Excel Energy Center, we walked to the State Capitol grounds where speakers continued the rally.
We had a message for anyone who continues funding the unjust war in Iraq and from the sign below you can see that we had a special message for Republicans.
