Radio entry: L.A. Race Riots
Hello, I'm standing here in L.A. where big riots broke out during the last hours.
The cause was perhaps a misunderstanding. An African American girl was shot by a Korean American shop owner who thought the girl would try to steal an orange juice.
There had been racial tensions before between Korean Americans and African Americans.
Behind of me you can see that here is nothing but chaos. The police isn't able to stop the violence and the brutality and here are a lot of zivilists who got innocent victims. The people are scared and feel helpless and they' ve only two questions: Why and why don't the police do sth.?

Radio entry: Interview with George Takei
George Hosako Takei is a japanese american actor. His most famous role was Mr. Sulu in Star trek. He was the first asian american actor to be given a star on the Walk of Fame.
Hello Mr. Takei
- Good morning.
When you were young, you experienced the Japanese American Internment. Right?
- Yes. It was a terrible time. Nobody really knew why we had to go into these camps, but we were told that it would be good for us. For me it is one of the darkest chapter of american history.
You were the first asian american actor to be given a star on the Walk of Fame. What does it mean to you?
- For me it's a sign of equality and that it was good to hold on during these difficult days.
You responded to Tim Hardaways statement that he hates gay people.
- Well, I thought the best way to answer would be a funny and ironic one. I was really angry when I realized that there are still people who aren't tolerant.
Thank you for this short statement.

Homework: Diary entry to JA interment
Dear Diary,
I'm so scared. I don't know where I am and why I'm here. And everything is terrible.
Behind our house (if you can call it a house) is a big fence and everywhere, there are cruel Americans with guns. When Jerry and I wanted to play hide and seek they shouted at us and told us to go home.
At night I couldn't sleep because it's so loud and smelly. I have to sleep with ´both of my brothers in one bed. I used to have an own bed and an own room and nobody shouted at me when I wanted to play.
Mum and Dad said it would be only for a short time and it would be good for us because here we are protected. But why would we need protection? We're in the USA-our home. I'm so confused.

Did you know that...
Asian americans won a lot of Nobel Prizes for example in physics (1957, 1976, 1997, 1998)?
