Professor

This is the single worst class I have ever taken at UCLA. It is not hard or complicated, but this professor does not care about her students, and does not encourage class discussion, her assignment to interview a "latino customer" person and a "korean store owner" is absolutely ridiculous and frankly was insulting because of the racial slurs and stereotypes it actually ENCOURAGED. Her lectures are biased and she displays hints of racism if not surface level biases that she attempts to brainwash the class with. This class was insulting because she is racially insensitive and she frequently blurts out biased opinions in her pointed remarks. She has said stupid things like "second generation koreans do not study as much because they are more american," or "what does it mean for koreans if they all become ministers" (while laughing because she thinks they should "become lawyers and doctors instead"). Do not take this class or any other class with this professor, she does not represent anything related to Asian American studies because it is an amazing major. NOTE: i did NOT take an anthro class with her but i took an ASIAN AM class with her. for some reason I cannot change that on the course selection.
