Asian Americans in Belmont are rallying around a common anti-racism cause to address underrepresentation in Belmont’s organizations and reduce racial tensions, according to Julie Wu, senior member of the town’s Pan-Asian Coalition.
She said Asians make up nearly 20% of the town’s population but are underrepresented in the town’s committees. Among nine members of the Diversity Task Force, only two are of Asian descent, said Wu, 54, a Taiwanese American who co-founded the coalition in mid-March.
Wu said she had sent the Select Board a petition requesting representation of Asian residents in the Task Force, with 176 signatures included, and Select Board Chairman Roy Epstein acknowledged receiving it afterward but no action has yet been taken as of press time.
