We’re working on his volume! 01:33:38 Patricia Yosha: Still too soft? Please amplify sound! Missing this presenter altogether. 01:33:42 Rita Weathersby: Still not effective sound 01:33:44 Judy: I can hear him, just can't understand a word he says. 01:33:48 Sarah Keller: Maybe to ask Sandeep to hold micro less close to mouth and then turn up the volume? 01:34:44 Jane G: It's worse now 01:35:01 Dianne Lavoie: Awful sound 01:35:39 Gabriele Lieberg: I am sorry I am missing most of what he is saying.. 01:35:48 Danette Wineberg: IT -- cannot hear or understand speaker.

Sound is terrible now. 01:36:29 Gina/BHTNH (she/her): Thank you for your patience everyone. We’re working on it. 01:36:33 Rita Weathersby: I’d love to know what he is talking about, have no idea 01:36:41 Ann Bliss: Not hearing clearly now 01:36:44 Betty Lane, SCHC (She/her): I- maybe he can hold the mic the way Sam did - that seemed to work well. 01:37:04 Ingrid's iPad: The transcript is not accurate either. 01:37:30 Talmira Hill: QA for all panelists: Would you be willing to comment on how the Myth of the Model Minority has contributed to the lawsuit filed by Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, which alleges discrimination against Asian Americans and concerns how the affirmative action program is implemented in Harvard University’s student admissions process? 01:37:32 Betty Lane, SCHC (She/her): sound seems a little better now, but still not great. 01:38:24 Suzy Colt: Bad mike 01:38:48 Nancy Rockwell: Cannot hear her 01:39:00 Gina/BHTNH (she/her): The moderator will repeat the question. 01:39:00 mskow: Can't hear what she is saying/asking 01:39:05 Rita Weathersby: Questioner isn’t clear; it seems that you hear each other in the room; not on zoom. 01:39:12 Crystal Paradis (she/her): Handhelds don’t seem to be connected to Zoom audio, just picking up the echo from the speakers in the room. 01:39:12 Danette Wineberg: IT -- seems that mike is not working at all. Cannot hear or understand anything that is being said 01:39:23 Gina/BHTNH (she/her): The moderator will repeat the question 01:39:38 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Please contact the Racial Unity Team for those interested in advancing racial unity in NH. 01:40:08 Rita Weathersby: We can hear Dellia-clearly; a different mic? 01:40:25 Carolyn Rayno: What is the name of the first speaker - moderator? 01:40:31 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: https://racialunityteam.com/ 01:40:53 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Yes, ihollaback is very good 01:42:27 Gina/BHTNH (she/her): The moderator is Delia Konzett is a Professor of English, Cinema Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies, and is part of the Global Racial and Social Inequality Lab at the University of New Hampshire.

I will send them over to the panelists. 01:44:45 Betty Lane, SCHC (She/her): Thanks you for this program, In eed to leave now for another meeting. 01:45:10 Paul McNamara: The notion of "X is a model" is elliptical: "X is a model for Y"? I wonder if it is worth exploring more the social function of pointing to one minority group as the (monolithic) model for other groups. Does it not have as a central goal to dismiss the need to engage in any social corrections since it is "just up to individual choice--the opportunities are there, just follow the models, Nothing more need be done."? 01:45:26 Danette Wineberg: IT - that mike is no longer working the same way it was. Earlier very easy to hear and understand Pawn, but not now. 01:45:35 Nancy Rockwell: Still not able to hear this man, which is a shame, he seems like someone worth listening to. The sound is better than last week but still has a lot of problems. Are you doing tests with the speakers before this begins, to get the settings right for each one? Is this one mike dying or dead? The majority of us are on Zoom, so getting the sound right is really important. These tea talks are wonderful programs and it is just a shame we are all having trouble hearing. I raise the volume on my new laptop before we begin, which I don't have to do on other Zooms, but know the problem is not on my end. 01:46:58 Gabriele Lieberg: What is the book he recommended? 01:47:28 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Ask your city mayors to proclaim May as AAPI Heritage Month to increase awareness. Contact your Public Libraries. Check what ESOL groups….. 01:50:43 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Support bills that advocate for the teaching of history (oppose those that do not) 01:52:09 Talmira Hill: Thank you for taking the question, and many thanks to all the panelists — outstanding, insightful and incredible leaders. Many thanks, Jerri Anne and Black Heritage Trail NH, for hosting this Tea Talk. 01:52:59 ellen fine: Tuning in from Needham, Massachusetts…This is a question for Sam. When are you going to run for City Council or Mayor in Newton? State Rep works, too! 01:58:06 Ingrid's iPad: Dual mikes making the distortion worse! 01:58:24 Nadine Petty (she/her/hers): Question for any panelist: The model minority myth has perpetuated the idea that AAPI populations don't have the same struggles in the U.S. as other racial/ethnic minorities. We know this myth pits various minority groups against each other, but can someone speak to us about the impact of this myth within Asian groups? Does the myth pit Asians against Asians, and if so, are there recommendations for mediating the harm this causes? (Unsure if this question has already been answered, so feel free to ignore if it has.) 02:00:00 Jane G: These Tea Talks are wonderful, but I really wish the technology was much better! 02:00:42 Kmh : Agreed 02:00:44 Ingrid's iPad: That helped to cut one mike. 02:01:21 Ingrid's iPad: The mike in the audience seems to be the best one. 02:03:12 ellen fine: Thank you very much for adding in the class structure differential! 02:03:15 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Many AAPI communities consider their community as their first home considering the immigration experience, SES, religion, politics, etc. 02:03:23 David Wheeler: From David Wheeler to Everyone, In all due respect for I suggest there is feedback between between microphones being too close to each other and create echos in the output of the speakers. Also the room is very echoey 02:05:35 Ann Bliss: Almost no sound now… 02:05:47 Gina/BHTNH (she/her): The moderator will repeat this question. 02:06:59 Ingrid's iPad: Southern Ohio is being transcribed as Saddam Hussein. 02:07:31 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: Thank you to the BHT organization for the space given to AAPIs and to the attendance/participation of our neighbors and allies. 02:09:17 Anita Klein: BHT and speakers, thank you for the Tea Talks and the your time. 02:18:26 Anita Klein: Please take David Wheeler's suggestion on improving the audio! 02:19:56 ellen fine: I am so appreciative of the panel being so honest and real about these topics and conversations… 02:20:12 Danette Wineberg: I agree! 02:20:13 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: It is challenging to distinguish between curiosity and affront. When folks used to comment about my English, I basically told them I went to a Catholic school in the Philippines. However, my own husband who great up here and my daughter who was born here view these questions as irritants. So within in our household, our own experience varies. I realize this is a “mild” example. 02:20:30 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: (grew) 02:21:30 Melanie Levesque: Thank you for the opportunity to have this conversation. We should keep talking and listening. “The more we know” 02:21:50 Paul McNamara: Thank BHT and panelists! 02:22:12 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: What I found challenging is deciding where to place certain types of actions within the continuum of discrimination…..which includes racism. We do not want to over-react. And yet. we cannot deny racism exists. 02:22:13 Crystal Paradis (she/her): Thank you all so much! This was yet another incredible conversation. See you next week! 02:23:27 Joy Meiser Mendis: I appreciate the panelists allowing us inside their world and life experience. Thank you for helping me understand the bias and stereotypes that come to you. 02:23:30 CORA QUISUMBING-KING: TODAY is the UN WORLD OF SOCIAL JUSTICE 02:24:44 carol lincoln: Thank You for this fantastic discussion. 02:26:01 Brooke Healy: thank you!
