Some members push back as Mass. Asian American Commission head stands firm on Black Lives Matter statement

Jessica Wong, Jenny Chiang, and Sheila Vo from the Massachusetts Asian American Commission stood together during a protest outside the State House in March.Steven Senne/Associated PressSeveral members of the state’s Asian American Commission publicly dissented Saturday with controversial language used in a statement the panel issued in support of Black Lives Matter, while the commission’s president stood firm against the critics.
The controversy stems from claims in the June 4 statement that “deep roots of anti-Blackness” exist among Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, and that the community benefits “from the ‘model minority’ myth and our historic proximity to white privilege.”
The debate has exposed a divide within the panel and the Asian community.
“It was the younger commissioners who prepared this statement without input from the older generation, and it was presented to us with no transparency,” said Commissioner Betty King, 70.
