From a syndicated column by George Will in the Boston Globe, April 19, 1996:

When the [Tufts University student] senate cut $600 from the Chinese Culture Club's budget, Kim Tran, co-president of the Asian Community at Tufts, said that although the cut was not "face-to-face racism," it reflected institutional bias against Asians. Carol Wan, the CCC treasurer, called the cut an attack on "the legitimacy" of her culture. A portion of the cut pertained to Chinese takeout food that the CCC ordered for a Chinese New Year observance, and Wan said the cut "questioned the authenticity of takeout food as part of our culture." The student newspaper reported: "Several times during her speech, Wan began crying. 'It's sad that this is happening at Tufts, where it's supposed to be intercultural,' she said."
