Crystal Li, Editor-in-Chief

Crystal Li joined The Tower in her freshman year when she moved from Shanghai to San Diego in 2019. Now a senior, she fondly looks back on the four-year career she had on staff and hopes to continue sharing her love of journalism with everyone on campus. Her favorite part of The Tower is, needless to say, the close-knit family, but also the great variety of snacks present at every layout afternoon. When academic responsibilities find ways to overwhelm her, she finds comfort in the process of writing—especially journaling at night or venturing out to pursue her personal investigative projects. However, when school is just roughly manageable, she loves traveling (to see family and friends), absolutely dominating in foosball, saving cat memes (I know, they're very cute!), and exploring the “thriller” genre under the movie section. If you see her around campus, feel free to say hi!

These stereotypes dehumanize Asian American women and downplay them to solely sexual objects. This dehumanization, in turn, perpetuates violence toward this community, and even encourages it.

There is often this shared outlook on how racism against Asian Americans goes unspoken and unchallenged because of the stereotypes that portray Asian Americans as individuals who don’t need protection from abuse—or who don’t deserve it.
