I think Fernandez chose a wonderful biblical narrative to illustrate Filipino-Americans’—as well as other minorities within the United States—struggles. Many of my international friends have come to study in the United States solely because it is “the land of opportunities”, and yet some of them feel like captives or the oppressed people—whether socio-economic, racial, or other discrimination solely because they are neither white nor American citizens. How can I—as a white American—truly identify with what they are going through? How can I aid them in dealing with the oppression they receive?
