“Today, the House considers H. Con. Res. 124, which recognizes the contributions of Asian Americans to American culture and society, and condemns all forms of discrimination and bias against Asian Americans. This resolution has the bipartisan support of 75 cosponsors and was introduced by the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Wu) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Campbell) on May 27, 1999. It expresses the sense of Congress that recent allegations of espionage and illegal campaign financing against certain Asian Americans have brought into question the loyalty and probity of all Americans of Asian ancestry. In an effort to counter this stereotypical view as one of ignorance based on generalizations about people of different ethnic backgrounds, it is the sense of Congress that no American should generalize or stereotype the action of an individual to be representative of an entire group. The resolution calls upon the Attorney General, the Secretary of Energy, and the Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to vigorously investigate and enforce all allegations of discrimination in public and private workplaces.”
