Outside of class, I barely notice my friends’ political beliefs. They’re one component of many that makes them unique individuals. If I feel uncomfortable about the direction of our conversations, I switch the subject.
On behalf of the Asian American Students Association (AASA), welcome to Princeton University!
It will fall to our generation to take the action against climate change that we sorely need.
Neither Kavanaugh’s vague statements of principles nor his statements about his love for his family should give us reassurance that he would bring any commitment to substantive protections for women and girls to the bench with him.
Like Rachel Chu is in the movie “Crazy Rich Asians,” I have been called a banana: “yellow on the outside, white on the inside.”
Student journalists — at The Daily Princetonian and elsewhere — are the future of the democratic free press. We commend the hundreds of editorial boards nationwide who have written articles last week combating attacks on American journalism. Quilted together on the front page of The New York Times, these editorials send a strong message: journalists will not back down.
The deep pockets of development aid organizations guarantee great comfort for employees, while at the same time allowing them to fulfill their altruistic aspirations. As a result, few people question the real impact of this aid in poor societies and often overlook its profound detriments.
In lauding “Crazy Rich Asians” as the Holy Grail for Asians in film, we have set the bar too low. By confining its stars to playing people who are, for the most part, just a summation of their racial identities, the film leaves behind a gap in Asian representation that has yet to be bridged.
It disappoints me to see that a fellow Princetonian would fail to empathize with his international peers, or at least to see the nonsense behind the U.S. government’s attempts at “improving” its immigration system.
Managing editor and migrant student Sam Parsons recently offered his perspective on the state of America’s immigration system. In what quickly morphs from an insightful remark on the often untold vocational difficulties faced by international students to a partisan diatribe, Parsons lurches into a clumsy yet familiar attack on Trump and his not-so-recent failure to pass immigration reform.
While we have had our attention focused on the southern border, the Trump administration and Republican Party have launched waves of attacks on America’s mainstream legal immigration channels.
As comprehensive as pre-medical requirements are in some areas, they are lacking in others, ones that are critical to an effective career in medicine.
Without Neotropical migratory birds, ecosystems across the Americas would unravel. By eating millions of locusts, ants, and mosquitoes every year, migratory birds act as an important natural control on insect populations. Many species of plant depend upon migratory birds to pollinate or disperse their seeds. Ecologists often consider migratory birds to be “indicator species,” because the size and success of their populations reflect wider trends about the health of the ecosystems they inhabit.
... Flat Earth arguments are scientifically false, and their proponents’ overwhelming skepticism is unjustified.
Journalists at Princeton are neuroscientists, pre-med students, philosophers, sociologists, mathematicians, artists, computer scientists, pre-law students, athletes, musicians, poets, and writers. In other words, journalists at Princeton are you.
Donald Trump’s conduct is abhorrent, but by electing him as the leader of our country, we proved our complicity in — and our approval of — such abhorrence. Worse, by continuing to support the president in substantial numbers, we have allowed him to disgrace American life even more.
