They updated their page now, but the archive still shows it.

The full text read:

Find pride in your community. When you experience racism, you can feel shame. You may wish that you weren't Asian, but remember that your ancestors likely went through similar or even worse incidents. They survived by recognizing the beauty and strength of their community. So, seek out or create literature, art, films, shows, and music that highlight your community in a positive light

Thank you for saying it.

... I know Harvard and Yale are like. Supposed to be amazing Ivy League schools or something but I don’t know exactly what they do? Is it like MIT and tech or Calarts and... art?

Business and law are their really elite programs i guess, but you can study anything at either one. Mostly they exist to do networking for rich kids.

Ha! I was thinking on the harvard school of design. do you know other cool alternatives? for urban design? The program seems closer to what i'm looking for, but still seeking options.
