...found McFadden's opinion not only stigmatizing of those of us who are HIV-positive here at Harvard and elsewhere, but also racist, classist and clearly homophobic. He suggested that any sexual orientation other than "straight" is immoral and abnormal, when he has not even bothered to question the internal and external battles which bisexuals, lesbians, gays, transgenders and straight activits fought in the mid-1980s, without which we wouldn't be this far in AIDS research. Nobody has a "right" to judge our identities, just as no one has a "right" to refuse further research into AIDS prevention: Being...
White male Harvard students always had an outlet if they sought classist elitism--the final clubs. Though exclusive and generally distasteful, at least these clubs could claim to be an indigenous Harvard phenomenon.

Indeed, the fact that we are creating our own identities is one of the things which is so liberating (and, at the same time, so profoundly frightening) about the Asian-American experience. The fact that we as Asian men are treated badly by mainstream society does not give us the right to prioritize our injurie over the injuries we inflict upon others. We cannot afford that kind of thinking in a world where we all hope to live together...
Trends of fashion are classist and exclusionary in terms of price, but the image of beauty they project is not. The ridiculous and appalling standards of fashion's traditional image has been equally accessible and assaulting to everyone in the vicinity of mainstream culture...
