让自己激愤，不如和UCA等组织合作，找到解决社会偏见的系统方案。

月前，全美华人联合会（UCA）伊利诺伊州分会主持了关于COVID-19爆发期间亚裔美国人在隔离期间的心理健康、焦虑和欺凌等问题的研讨会。 有200多人参加了视频会议，估计有数百人事后观看了该视频会议的录像。 研讨会上概述了亚裔美国人在公众场合下面对的情形，对如何在疫情期间应对日益恶化的心理健康提出了建议。之后是6名年轻人的讨论，他们分享了自己对疫情引发的情形的看法。 请在此处查看会议视频：https://tinyurl.com/ybrjm3th。
作为发言人之一，我认为这次活动是一次令人大开眼界的经历，我不仅能够分享自己的观点，而且能够了解我们青年人小组成员的各类想法。例如，其中一个议题是让大家都观看了一个视频，在这视频中，疫情期间人们产生的负面污名情绪，一名亚裔妇女因其种族身份在公共场受到了语言攻击和虐待。
许多小组成员建议，最好的做法是面对引发问题的人，录制视频，提出民事诉讼，并尝试改变他们的思维方式。尽管这是一个有效的措施，但我认为，尝试与这种人争论是没有意义的。我建议，与其尝试改变某人的观点（这一般不太可能），让自己激愤，不如和UCA等组织合作，找到解决社会偏见的系统方案。会议上，我看到对于相同的问题，大家有很多不同的对应方法，这使我大开眼界。在这样的论坛中，志同道合的人们聚集在一起，我们才能看到如此多样化的进步的思想。
总而言之，作为一名学生、公民和亚裔美国人，我发现这次UCA的视频讨论以及相关的的系列活动是非常宝贵的社区资源。 我尤其希望其他青年和他们的父母们，都来观看这些视频，并参加以后的活动。愿大家在疫情期间安全，愿我们期待美好的时光来临！

On May 12th, the Illinois chapter of the United Chinese Americans (UCA) hosted a mental health, anxiety, and bullying discussion regarding Asian Americans during the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting quarantine. Over 200  people were in attendance for the live online video, and hundreds more are expected to view the recording of the event. After an overview of  the situation that Asian Americans have to face in public, followed by advice on how to cope with deteriorating mental health during quarantine, the focus of the event turned to a panel discussion featuring 6 young adults, who shared their perspectives on how they felt about the pandemic. Please view here for the video recording: https://tinyurl.com/ybrjm3th
.

As a panel speaker myself, I think that the event was an eye-opening experience because I was able to not only share my own perspectives but also learn about  the thoughts of my fellow youth panelists. For example, for one of the discussion prompts, everyone viewed a video of an Asian American woman being verbally assaulted and abused in a public area due to her race and the negative stigma surrounding it that has arisen during the pandemic. Many panelists suggested that the best course of action would be to confront the person causing the problems, record video, file a civil suit, and try to change their way of thinking. Although this is a valid course of action, I believed that it would be pointless to try and argue with this kind of person. Rather than infuriating yourself by attempting to change someone’s viewpoint (which is likely not going to change), I suggested avoiding confrontation and working with organizations such as UCA to find a systemic solution to the internal prejudice in society. It is eye-opening to see such different approaches to solving the same problem, and only in a forum such as this one where like-minded community workers gather can we see such diverse and progressive thinking. 
All in all, as a student, a citizen, and a member of the Asian American community, I found this UCA panel discussion and accompanying event to be a great resource to the community. I would highly recommend other youth and parents to view the footage and to attend future events. Stay safe during the pandemic, and look forward to a better time!
