Video Response - Post #4

As an asian, at first when I saw this video, I really get mad at this white girl. Personally, I am disagree with her behavior. For me, no matter how mad is she, she should not post the video against all Asian people especially post it on youtube. It is such a big offended to all Asian people.  From the beginning of her video, I am pretty sure she was really jealous of the good grade that most Asian people get. And for the country of Japan just had an earthquake, it is really not nice to say things like that.Moreover, it will also arise the racism problem. Before, I thought the United States is a melting pot, all races get along with each other in the big picture. After this video posted, it makes me think if most americans are welcoming us come to this amazing country or not; it makes scared to think the discrimination exists in this society. Also after read the letter from the white girl, I realized she got the result what she should got. She and her families got dead threaten, and even cannot got to university take the final exam. I am also disagree with the people who threaten the white girl and her families. It is not the right way to make her realize what she did was wrong. Seeing thousands of respond of the offensive video, I think the white girl have already learned her lesson. Yes, she has the right to say anything she wants. But it is not her right to hurt other group of people.

Guest Speakers / Post 3

Last week Thursday there is a wife and husband team came to our class shared the experience about raise 50,000 dollar in 60 days. This is such a valuable experience that I learned a website called "Kickstarter" from that. Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. It is really fun when I heard that the projects on Kickstarter all has its deadline and minimum of funds to raise.Kickstarter pledge drives are "all or nothing," meaning that if the goal isn't met by the specified time then no one's credit cards are charged and the project doesn't get any of the pledged funds.Also, the advantages of Kickstarter is it is inexpensive, and your idea can reach mass like Facebook, Twitter, Blog, and Video. On the other hand, the disadvantages of Kickstarter is risking your idea. From the guest, I also learned the big secret of raising funds, such as collaborate, connect, and engage influencer. By the way, I hope their project of "Ride with Larry" will get success.
