...first big problem with this ordeal is that many people are failing to view the malfeasance in context. The NHL has tacitly allowed this sort of behavior since its inception.

AACF specifically exists in order to minister to the needs of the Asian American community at Harvard, offering a setting that encourages students' exploration of Christianity and other faith issues in the context of their Asian American cultural identity. While a multi-ethnic setting might not preclude this, an ethnic-specific setting facilitates this exploration by concentrating on issues more commonly experienced by Asian Americans...
