Identity politics not dead under Trump: Why you need to fill out those census forms

1 week ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

As we approach the final days of AAPI Heritage month, most of my time has been spent thinking about what I am. Asian? Filipino? Aspanic? My deadline to fill out the latest Census form, the American Community Survey (ACS) came up, and while I love identity politics, I hate filling out the forms. Your subscription could not be saved.

1 week ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

There were no Filipino American textbooks when I went to Harvard. I had to go deep into the stacks at Widener Library to read the unpublished theses of Filipino scholars who were part of a joint Philippine/US history project from the ‘50s and ‘60s.

The old news about President Joe Biden’s health and ability to serve is about a year and a half too late. Do we really need the detailed post-mortem now? Or is there a better way to use what’s being confirmed now in the new book detailing Biden’s demise? Your subscription could not be saved. Please try again. Your subscription has been successful. We can blame Biden for slow rolling the public on the true nature of his aging, and all those who kept up the charade of his vigor.

3 weeks ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

Let’s take a break from politics to consider how despite Trump’s rage against DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) efforts, the idea is not dead. Not when you see it expressed in the work of an authentic American artist like film director Ryan Coogler. In his film “Sinners,” Coogler has provided us with a metaphor that doesn’t suck.

What’s better for Filipino Americans than a Filipino pope? An American pope, one who can effectively communicate a vision of peace, love and unity in a world troubled by an amoral and divisive American presidency.
