dear candidates,

i would appreciate it if you refrained from referring to people of asian descent as "yellow."

though there are americans of asian descent who may disagree w/ me, i believe that, due to the history of this word in reference to those of asian descent, 1/ the way it is still used by non-asians to refer to an entire diaspora as a single color, & the truth that we have more appropriate words for who we, as americans of asian descent, are today- the word "yellow" should be discontinued when acknowledging those of asian descent. 2/
