via UnsplashThe Wall Street Journal is facing criticism for an OP-Ed published Monday evening with the headline “Are there ‘Too Many Asians. '” Many Asian American activists feel that it was inappropriate to write a provocative headline after several Asian Americans were killed during a mass shooting. Asian Americans on social media primarily took issue with the headline WSJ initially used rather than the content of the OP-Ed itself. Phil Yu, an activist, called the timing of the headline “weirdly inappropriate.”It is weirdly inappropriate for discussion on both mass shootings and Oscar nominations. The challenge the Asian American community faces is always feeling like there is a cap on how “welcome” we are.
