asian-americans unite to show patriotism

Former Delaware Lieutenant Governor and University of Delaware Professor S.B. Woo is the president of a large group of volunteers who are actively passing out thousands of American flags to Asian-American shop owners in Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Houston, Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York. The group is known as the 80-20 Initiative, and their purpose is to to show their love for America, and overcome feelings of xenophobia that mainstream America might have towards new immigrants and citizens. I like the effort, and I wish that it does have the impact that they are hoping it will.
