Howdy, fellow Aggies. My name is Taowan Yang, and I am the current President of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) and a proud member of the fighting Texas Aggie class of 2018. The reason that I am speaking out to you all is because our community of Aggie Chinese students discovered through our close allies at the University of Texas at Austin of an incident that deeply saddened and angered the Longhorn Chinese student community there. The incident involved the posting of a hateful flyer that was posted on academic buildings around the UT campus, and which promoted an ethics course to Chinese students by using unacceptable language and racist stereotypes.
We all know that these flyers are insulting and unwelcomed by both our UT counterparts and us. We are grateful that the UT administration has publicly denounced such disrespectful actions, and our CSSA stands by our UT CSSA friends in also denouncing this type of awful behavior. Like our respective universities, our CSSA chapters also take great pride in diversity and inclusion through many activities ranging from hosting events that celebrate cultural exchanges to achieving cross-collaboration academic excellence with both our domestic and international peers.
Therefore, we as the flagship organization of the largest international student community at Texas A&M University have an obligation to not only stand up and publicly condone such hateful behaviors here or beyond our campus, but to also encourage our own international student community to also fearlessly speak out and say no to intolerance. We believe in a diverse campus that celebrates inclusivity, and urge you all to report incidents that go against our Aggie core values. If you see such incidents, do not ignore it. Instead, report it immediately to STOP HATE (http://stophate.tamu.edu/) so that we encourage a better climate on campus.
I am proud of my Chinese heritage and also proud to be an Aggie, and I hope that our Aggie Chinese community will stand together with our fellow Aggies to continue to be a proud international academic and research institution. Thanks, and gig'em!
Howdy！我是TAMU中国学生学者联谊会（CSSA）的主席杨陶纨，2018届毕业生。今天我在这发表这篇声明是由于，近日在University of Texas in Austin发生了一起校内种族歧视宣传单事件，有人在教学楼内张贴针对中国人的传单。我们立刻与UTCSSA取得联系，了解了整件事情的情况，并将支持UTCSSA采取的行动。
通过了解，UT校方正在非常积极地处理这次事件。宣传单上的不当措辞造成了非常恶劣的影响，这样的行为在UT以及我们学校都是严令禁止的。在我们的校园，我们全体CSSA成员都以能在TAMU学习、生活为荣，学校的文化多元化、包容性、以及各项有关国际文化的交流活动，都体现了TAMU良好的学习与生活的环境氛围。
因此，作为TAMU最大的留学生团体的组织，我们将不会懈怠或容忍发生在校园内外任何类似的行为。与此同时，我们鼓励并呼吁大家如若发现任何违背Aggie Core Values的行为，请立即联系我们CSSA，并向STOP HATE(http://stophate.tamu.edu/) 举报。我们也将会在第一时间联系学校相关部门，并要求公开公正地处理。
我为我是中国人感到自豪，我为我是一名Aggie感到骄傲！我希望我们所有中国教职人员以及学生群体团结起来，秉持着优良传统，在TAMU这个和谐美丽的校园内，将我们的中华文化发扬光大！谢谢大家！Thanks, and gig’em!
