The images were taken from a distance of 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) with sunlight coming from the upper right. The surface exhibits many large craters, including the deeply shadowed one at the center, which is estimated to be more than 6 miles (10 kilometers) deep. The shadowed, wedge-shaped feature at the lower right is another large crater viewed obliquely. Mathilde's angular shape is believed to result from a violent history of impacts.

"bio": "Sasha Khokha is the host of \u003cem>The California Report's \u003c/em> weekly magazine program, which takes listeners on sound-rich excursions to meet the people that make the Golden State unique -- through audio documentaries and long-form stories. As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The latest injunction comes in response to an appeal filed by two groups — Make UC A Good Neighbor and the People’s Park Historic District Advocacy Group — challenging the controversial housing project at the historic site. While the order prevents any further clearing of the park, it does allow the university to re-erect a security fence around the site while the case is being reviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are gratified that the Court of Appeal recognized that UC should not go forward until the court has the opportunity to review our case more fully,” Harvey Smith, president of the People’s Park Historic District Advocacy Group, said in a statement. “UC took advantage of the legal system in order to destroy as much of the park as it could.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, UC Berkeley noted that the new injunction would further delay and significantly increase the cost of the project, but said it was pleased the court had agreed to an expedited review process and was allowing the school to “close and secure the construction site pending the expedited ruling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The campus is now assessing options to get that done in a safe, effective way,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>: Just hours after the agenda had been posted, Berkeley’s mayor on Thursday morning canceled \u003ca href=\"https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022-08-04%20Special%20Agenda%20-%20Council.pdf\">a special city council meeting\u003c/a> that officials had scheduled for that evening to consider temporarily suspending the city’s ban on police use of tear gas, smoke and pepper spray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m canceling the meeting.

Two officers involved were injured, and one of the people arrested was released from custody and taken to a local hospital for minor injuries, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11921793\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1524px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11921793 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1.jpeg\" alt=\"People on the street watch as a large group of police in riot gear stand in a group.\" width=\"1524\" height=\"1071\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1.jpeg 1524w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1-800x562.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1-1020x717.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/FZRw281VQAAaT1R-1-160x112.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1524px) 100vw, 1524px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After a tense standoff with protesters, police in riot gear — from multiple agencies, including UC Berkeley PD and the California Highway Patrol — prepare to leave People’s Park on Aug. 3, 2022.

That the reasons why I supported the ban in 2020 are still the same — I don’t think chemical agents should be used in modern policing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed that deputies were in fact at People’s Park on Wednesday, and that his office, while opposed to the city’s tear gas ban, would never refuse to respond to a major public safety emergency. “We will come to help. I think the city’s understanding of what mutual aid is needed some clarification,” he said and an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if sheriff’s deputies would abide by Berkeley’s tear gas ban if they came to the city’s aid, Kelly said, “We would not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story, 5:30 p.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chanting “Whose Park?

But by mid-afternoon, the school, in a statement, announced it was pausing \u003ca href=\"https://peoplesparkhousing.berkeley.edu/\">the controversial project\u003c/a> “due to the destruction of construction materials, unlawful protest activity, and violence on the part of some protesters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11921498\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11921498\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet.jpg\" alt=\"two people sit in the middle of the street as uniformed police in riot gear stand in the background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtestersOnStreet-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters sit on a street bordering People’s Park on Wednesday. \u003ccite>(Christopher Alam/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school said it had instructed all workers to leave the site “out of concern for their safety,” following reports that protesters were throwing rocks and bottles at them. It also said it had withdrawn its police force in an “effort to avoid further confrontation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re doing right now is assessing options for how we can move forward in a safe fashion, given the fact that we have certain individuals in our community who’ve shown themselves ready, willing and able to engage in violent, unlawful behavior and vandalism,” UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof said. “And we need to find a way to proceed while taking that into account.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/eli_kamisher/status/1554906790260723712\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has plans to build a complex that would accommodate about 1,100 students as well as supportive housing for about 125 unhoused people. Part of the property will also be set aside to commemorate the site’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2019/04/20/a-brief-history-of-berkeleys-peoples-park/\">significance in the Civil Rights Movement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The housing project is “incredibly important to the university. It’s an important piece of how we plan to address what is an urgent student housing crisis,” Mogulof said. “We very much want this building to be available when students come to campus in the fall of 2024.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier Wednesday morning, about 100 officers representing multiple agencies, including UC Berkeley PD and the California Highway Patrol, stood guard at the fenced-off park as crews began felling trees to the derision of onlookers who were mostly kept outside barricades. At one point, shouting protesters and police, some in riot gear, came face to face before officers were told to stand down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11921497 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway.jpg\" alt=\"person in leopard print shirt with hands cuffed is led away by a police officer in riot gear\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/ProtesterLedAway-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unidentified protester is led away by police after being arrested at People’s Park on Wednesday.

Like they don’t have the privilege that I have to go home and sleep in a bed,” she said, noting she didn’t trust the university to follow through on its promise to build supportive housing for people in need. “You know, most of these people have mental issues and they don’t have medical care or support from friends or family, and we are kicking them out from the park.

The latest injunction comes in response to an appeal filed by two groups — Make UC A Good Neighbor and the People’s Park Historic District Advocacy Group — challenging the controversial housing project at the historic site. While the order prevents any further clearing of the park, it does allow the university to re-erect a security fence around the site while the case is being reviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are gratified that the Court of Appeal recognized that UC should not go forward until the court has the opportunity to review our case more fully,” Harvey Smith, president of the People’s Park Historic District Advocacy Group, said in a statement. “UC took advantage of the legal system in order to destroy as much of the park as it could.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, UC Berkeley noted that the new injunction would further delay and significantly increase the cost of the project, but said it was pleased the court had agreed to an expedited review process and was allowing the school to “close and secure the construction site pending the expedited ruling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The campus is now assessing options to get that done in a safe, effective way,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ray Kelly, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed that deputies were in fact at People’s Park on Wednesday, and that his office, while opposed to the city’s tear gas ban, would never refuse to respond to a major public safety emergency. “We will come to help.

Siegel was arrested on Bloody Thursday after giving a speech at a campus rally in which he implored the crowd to “go down there and take the park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11921578\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11921578\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"an older woman speaks into a microphone at a park\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57549_024_KQED_PeoplesParkRally_08032022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Longtime activist Jane Stillwater, who has fought to preserve People’s Park for decades, speaks to protesters gathered at the park on Wednesday evening. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He noted the investigation is ongoing and said more details may be released when deemed “warranted and appropriate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students and faculty were sent multiple emails and text message alerts Thursday morning, and were asked to leave campus quickly, with in-person classes canceled for the remainder of the day. The Berkeley Unified School District also placed seven nearby schools on a “soft lockdown,” keeping all exterior gates and doors secured for much of the day “out of an abundance of caution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person who made the threats is an “individual associated with the campus,” said Mogulof, but stopped short of providing any additional details about the suspect’s identity or whether an arrest had been made, citing “unique and complicated privacy concerns.” No injuries were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around 7:30 a.m., he said, campus police received information about “credible threats of violence directed at other individuals, people who teach or work or learn at the university,” and moved quickly to lock down and search the campus, closing all libraries, cafeterias, parking garages and other facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UCPD became aware of the threats through a variety of different sources,” Mogulof said. “But suffice it to say that after a quick initial investigation, those threats were deemed to be legitimate, serious and of grave, grave concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911977\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911977\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza.jpg\" alt=\"A view of UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza without any people.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1116\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza-800x465.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza-1020x593.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/sproul-plaza-1536x893.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An empty Sproul Plaza at around noon on Thursday, April 21, 2022, during UC Berkeley’s campus-wide lockdown. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The university didn’t hesitate to “respond quickly and comprehensively,” he added. “We’re not going to take any chances when it comes to the safety of the community, even if in retrospect it may be proved that it wasn’t necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof said that in his 18 years working here, this was first time the entire campus had been locked down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the incident, students and faculty on campus were instructed by police to shelter in their classrooms and offices and stay away from doors and windows, despite also being assured there was no active shooter on campus. A number of people who were stuck inside their buildings took to Twitter, expressing frustration that the university wasn’t providing specific details about the incident and was being too vague about the extent of the threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting a bit frustrated at lack of clear information regarding this situation at Berkeley,” Keanan Joyner, an assistant professor of psychology, said in a tweet. “Sending the same email with no updates every 15 minutes is not helping the situation.”[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"uc-berkeley\"]Mogulof acknowledged that frustration, but stressed that the administration followed the “gold standard of communications” established after the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2013/10/31/us/virginia-tech-shootings-fast-facts/index.html\">2007 Virginia Tech mass shooting\u003c/a>, which is to “put out the barest possible minimum of information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only are there privacy concerns, but there are certain types of information that people understandably would like to get, but that could actually serve as a source of additional peril and danger,” he said. “Because obviously, anything that we convey to the public as a whole would be conveyed to the source of the threat at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University officials will hold a postmortem next week to “examine carefully ways that we can improve,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof said he couldn’t remember the last time the school had updated its active shooter protocols, but confirmed it had not been done “recently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout late Thursday morning and early afternoon, campus grounds remained open, but were eerily quiet, with only a handful of people milling around the school’s normally vibrant Sproul Plaza. Several campus police officers stood guard outside Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union — where the investigation appeared to be primarily focused — while behind the building’s locked glass doors, students could be seen working quietly on laptops in the lobby lounge area, as officers occasionally walked by with rifles in hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not what I expected,” said James Vickers, a high school junior from Boston who had come to tour the campus with his dad. “But I mean, you know, it is what it is. Hopefully, no one gets hurt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>April, a senior who asked that her last name not be used, said she thought the incident probably involved a student experiencing a mental health issue. Sitting outside the locked-down student center on Thursday morning, she said mental health issues among students are increasingly common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People get stressed,” April said, noting that final exams were just around the corner. She said on-campus counseling and other mental health resources are too limited and often not easily accessible, which can be particularly detrimental for students facing crises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t really know how to find help and then their stuff escalates and it’s too late,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to students and faculty, posted Thursday afternoon, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ acknowledged “\u003ca href=\"https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/04/21/in-person-classes-campus-operations-will-resume-friday/\">an unsettling day for our community\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we are fortunate that no one was injured in this incident, we recognize the alarm and the anxiety this caused,” she said. “Our sense of safety and security was threatened; our academic and research pursuits were interrupted; and, for some, past experiences with violence may have resurfaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christ said students can schedule same-day counseling visits by calling the university’s \u003ca href=\"https://uhs.berkeley.edu/caps\">Counseling and Psychological Services\u003c/a> at \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"tel:5106429494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"tel:5106429494\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">(510) 642-9494\u003c/a>; booking through the online portal, known as \u003ca href=\"https://uhs.berkeley.edu/access-etang-portal\">eTang\u003c/a>; or calling the after-hours counseling line at \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"tel:8558175667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"tel:8558175667\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">(855) 817-5667\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Free confidential counseling also is available to faculty and staff through the \u003ca href=\"https://uhs.berkeley.edu/bewellatwork/employee-assistance\">Employee Assistance Program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Several campus police officers stood guard outside Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union — where the investigation appeared to be primarily focused — while behind the building’s locked glass doors, students could be seen working quietly on laptops in the lobby lounge area, as officers occasionally walked by with rifles in hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not what I expected,” said James Vickers, a high school junior from Boston who had come to tour the campus with his dad. “But I mean, you know, it is what it is. Hopefully, no one gets hurt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>April, a senior who asked that her last name not be used, said she thought the incident probably involved a student experiencing a mental health issue. Sitting outside the locked-down student center on Thursday morning, she said mental health issues among students are increasingly common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People get stressed,” April said, noting that final exams were just around the corner. She said on-campus counseling and other mental health resources are too limited and often not easily accessible, which can be particularly detrimental for students facing crises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t really know how to find help and then their stuff escalates and it’s too late,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to students and faculty, posted Thursday afternoon, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ acknowledged “\u003ca href=\"https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/04/21/in-person-classes-campus-operations-will-resume-friday/\">an unsettling day for our community\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we are fortunate that no one was injured in this incident, we recognize the alarm and the anxiety this caused,” she said. “Our sense of safety and security was threatened; our academic and research pursuits were interrupted; and, for some, past experiences with violence may have resurfaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christ said students can schedule same-day counseling visits by calling the university’s \u003ca href=\"https://uhs.berkeley.edu/caps\">Counseling and Psychological Services\u003c/a> at \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"tel:5106429494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"tel:5106429494\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">(510) 642-9494\u003c/a>; booking through the online portal, known as \u003ca href=\"https://uhs.berkeley.edu/access-etang-portal\">eTang\u003c/a>; or calling the after-hours counseling line at \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"tel:8558175667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"tel:8558175667\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">(855) 817-5667\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 4:00 p.m. March 6\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Earlier versions of this story included outdated enrollment impact estimates, which were supplied by UC Berkeley officials to CalMatters. The story has been updated to reflect revised numbers from UC Berkeley, which indicate a less dire impact on new students than the university’s past statements and projections had suggested. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley will be able to enroll almost all the roughly 9,200 students it planned for this coming academic year, even though the California Supreme Court Thursday refused to strike down a lower court’s order that the university cut its campus enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the undergraduates we planned to enroll will be enrolled next year,” said Dan Mogulof, assistant vice chancellor of public affairs at UC Berkeley, during a phone interview with CalMatters Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the lower court said UC Berkeley must whittle down its campus enrollment by about 3,000 students, that still leaves room for new students to attend online in the fall or start their classes next spring, when the campus population declines as other students graduate early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By asking roughly 1,000 new students to take all their classes online in the fall and another 650 to begin their UC Berkeley educations in spring of 2023, the university won’t have to leave any students behind in the 2022-23 academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the campus will miss some enrollment targets. Because some of the 125 graduate school programs hadn’t yet sent out their admissions offers, the enrollment cap means 400 fewer new graduate students in engineering, business and law programs will attend the university next year, Mogulof said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a different degree of fallout than campus officials warned could happen. That UC Berkeley has to cut its campus population at all stems from Alameda Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2022/02/uc-berkeley-admissions-cuts-prioritize-californians/\">order last year to hold UC Berkeley’s enrollment at 2020-21 levels\u003c/a>, after residents in the city of Berkeley sued the university, challenging the impact the school’s enrollment growth would have on city services, scarce local housing and noise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The basis of that suit and court decisions, the 1970 California Environmental Quality Act, centers anew the state’s marquee environmental protection law as either a source of ire for backers of urban density and housing developers or as a chief weapon to preserve communities and the surrounding environments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a statement from UC Berkeley said the state Supreme Court’s decision not to intervene “is devastating news for the thousands of students who have worked so hard for and have earned a seat in our fall 2022 class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new press statement from Mogulof on Friday said, “[T]he harm caused by this court decision extends beyond the students who should be offered an in-person seat in our fall 2022 class. It impacts prospective students generally, our campus operations, and the university’s ability to serve students by meeting the enrollment targets set by the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision wasn’t unanimous. In a dissenting statement, Justice Goodwin Liu wrote that he would have granted UC Berkeley’s request to block the enrollment cap. He urged the sides to try to quickly resolve the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Phil Bokovoy, president of Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods, the group that brought the suit against UC Berkeley, said he was “pleased” with the Supreme Court’s decision but that “we’d like to assure deserving California high school students that we are as disappointed as they are that UC has tried to use them as pawns in UC’s attempts to avoid mitigating the impacts from the massive enrollment increases over the past few years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Liu’s comments, \u003ca href=\"http://saveberkeleysneighborhoods.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Press-release-Save-Berkeleys-Neighborhoods-offers-partial-relief-to-UC-5-March-22.pdf\">Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods proposed a compromise deal\u003c/a> in a press release on Saturday, March 5. The group’s proposal would allow UC Berkeley to enroll a total of 43,347 students, instead of the 42,347 allowed under the Supreme Court’s ruling, but it would be conditional. The group would require that 90% of new undergraduates be California residents (in 2021, \u003ca href=\"https://pages.github.berkeley.edu/OPA/our-berkeley/100-students.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">73% \u003c/a>of newly matriculated students were), and UC Berkeley would not be allowed to seek further legal action on this matter in the courts or state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof told KQED that UC Berkeley officials take issue with the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this small group of litigants is asking for is authority to determine enrollment at the University of California, Berkeley,” Mogulof said. He went on to say, “Enrollment decisions of the universities should not be in the hands of a small group of private citizens who have no accountability and no expertise in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After telling CalMatters that all the undergraduates the university had planned to enroll will be able to attend, Mogulof emailed a short time later to clarify that most of, but not all, the students would be able to attend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of this is exact,” he said. “These are all rounded numbers that fluctuate year to year. Yes, we usually hover around 9,500 new undergrads a year. … This year, before the court ruling, we originally planned on on 9,310 … and now we’re looking at 9,144 plus an expanded wait list of 150 that will provide us with more flexibility in potentially enrolling additional students if, for example, there is a legislative fix.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question becomes where might those students who would have been admitted to Berkeley end up going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now those fears are largely neutralized because the enrollment cap isn’t reducing the total number of new students the university will be able to enroll this coming academic year. There’s still tumult for students and the university, though. For the 1,650 students who’ll have to start online or in the fall, the start of their academic careers “is going to look nothing like what they wanted and hoped for,” Mogulof said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campus has some wiggle room with the enrollment cap because the campus population typically goes down marginally in the spring as students graduate early or attend off-campus programs in cities like Sacramento and Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its new students starting this fall and in person, the university will also prioritize in-state students over students who don’t have residency in California. In the past few years, about a quarter of undergraduates have typically come from out of state. But UC Berkeley will aim to lower that ratio substantially for this year — just 9% of students, or 641, will be nonresidents, and the remaining 6,334 new students will be Californians. Overall, 7,171 of the new 9,144 undergraduates, about 79%, who are expected to enter next year will be Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows a CalMatters analysis that the campus could find a way to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2022/02/uc-berkeley-admissions-cuts-prioritize-californians/\">enroll more Californians by excluding some out-of-state students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley said Friday its in-person campus population has to go down by roughly 2,600 students, not the 3,000 it previously estimated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers and legal scholars had previously said that if the state Supreme Court kept Seligman’s order in place, it would open the door for other communities to sue campuses for their enrollment growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an enormous limit on what any UC school, any Cal State school, any public school system can do,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Berkeley’s law school, in a conversation with CalMatters before the Supreme Court issued its decision Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Thursday’s court decision wasn’t about the full merits of the case but instead was about Seligman’s decision to cap enrollment. A state court of appeals is expected to hear the full case later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers could try to fast-track a bill to exempt campus enrollment from the state’s environmental quality act, a lawmaker said last month. But UC Berkeley is supposed to inform students by March 24 whether they’re admitted and some were already informed Feb. 11. Meanwhile, May 1 is the deadline for students to put down deposits to attend the campus — and the typical deadline for colleges across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers “don’t need much time to put that together,” texted Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat from Sacramento. “We’re on the case and aware of the deadlines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a law would be a “missed opportunity,” said UC Davis law professor Chris Elmendorf, because it wouldn’t address what he says is the environmental act’s major flaw: It views population growth of any kind as pollution in urban settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/12KMGguyqRPfNjmRTNEkFK_E0pUNRnEfSnerfTcRN_qE/edit\">student government implored the state Legislature\u003c/a> today to exempt campus enrollment from the environmental act’s restrictions.

Because some of the 125 graduate school programs hadn’t yet sent out their admissions offers, the enrollment cap means 400 fewer new graduate students in engineering, business and law programs will attend the university next year, Mogulof said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a different degree of fallout than campus officials warned could happen. That UC Berkeley has to cut its campus population at all stems from Alameda Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2022/02/uc-berkeley-admissions-cuts-prioritize-californians/\">order last year to hold UC Berkeley’s enrollment at 2020-21 levels\u003c/a>, after residents in the city of Berkeley sued the university, challenging the impact the school’s enrollment growth would have on city services, scarce local housing and noise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The basis of that suit and court decisions, the 1970 California Environmental Quality Act, centers anew the state’s marquee environmental protection law as either a source of ire for backers of urban density and housing developers or as a chief weapon to preserve communities and the surrounding environments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a statement from UC Berkeley said the state Supreme Court’s decision not to intervene “is devastating news for the thousands of students who have worked so hard for and have earned a seat in our fall 2022 class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new press statement from Mogulof on Friday said, “[T]he harm caused by this court decision extends beyond the students who should be offered an in-person seat in our fall 2022 class. It impacts prospective students generally, our campus operations, and the university’s ability to serve students by meeting the enrollment targets set by the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision wasn’t unanimous. In a dissenting statement, Justice Goodwin Liu wrote that he would have granted UC Berkeley’s request to block the enrollment cap. He urged the sides to try to quickly resolve the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Phil Bokovoy, president of Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods, the group that brought the suit against UC Berkeley, said he was “pleased” with the Supreme Court’s decision but that “we’d like to assure deserving California high school students that we are as disappointed as they are that UC has tried to use them as pawns in UC’s attempts to avoid mitigating the impacts from the massive enrollment increases over the past few years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Liu’s comments, \u003ca href=\"http://saveberkeleysneighborhoods.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Press-release-Save-Berkeleys-Neighborhoods-offers-partial-relief-to-UC-5-March-22.pdf\">Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods proposed a compromise deal\u003c/a> in a press release on Saturday, March 5. The group’s proposal would allow UC Berkeley to enroll a total of 43,347 students, instead of the 42,347 allowed under the Supreme Court’s ruling, but it would be conditional. The group would require that 90% of new undergraduates be California residents (in 2021, \u003ca href=\"https://pages.github.berkeley.edu/OPA/our-berkeley/100-students.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">73% \u003c/a>of newly matriculated students were), and UC Berkeley would not be allowed to seek further legal action on this matter in the courts or state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof told KQED that UC Berkeley officials take issue with the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this small group of litigants is asking for is authority to determine enrollment at the University of California, Berkeley,” Mogulof said. He went on to say, “Enrollment decisions of the universities should not be in the hands of a small group of private citizens who have no accountability and no expertise in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After telling CalMatters that all the undergraduates the university had planned to enroll will be able to attend, Mogulof emailed a short time later to clarify that most of, but not all, the students would be able to attend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of this is exact,” he said. “These are all rounded numbers that fluctuate year to year. Yes, we usually hover around 9,500 new undergrads a year. … This year, before the court ruling, we originally planned on on 9,310 … and now we’re looking at 9,144 plus an expanded wait list of 150 that will provide us with more flexibility in potentially enrolling additional students if, for example, there is a legislative fix.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question becomes where might those students who would have been admitted to Berkeley end up going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now those fears are largely neutralized because the enrollment cap isn’t reducing the total number of new students the university will be able to enroll this coming academic year. There’s still tumult for students and the university, though. For the 1,650 students who’ll have to start online or in the fall, the start of their academic careers “is going to look nothing like what they wanted and hoped for,” Mogulof said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campus has some wiggle room with the enrollment cap because the campus population typically goes down marginally in the spring as students graduate early or attend off-campus programs in cities like Sacramento and Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its new students starting this fall and in person, the university will also prioritize in-state students over students who don’t have residency in California. In the past few years, about a quarter of undergraduates have typically come from out of state. But UC Berkeley will aim to lower that ratio substantially for this year — just 9% of students, or 641, will be nonresidents, and the remaining 6,334 new students will be Californians. Overall, 7,171 of the new 9,144 undergraduates, about 79%, who are expected to enter next year will be Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows a CalMatters analysis that the campus could find a way to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2022/02/uc-berkeley-admissions-cuts-prioritize-californians/\">enroll more Californians by excluding some out-of-state students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley said Friday its in-person campus population has to go down by roughly 2,600 students, not the 3,000 it previously estimated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers and legal scholars had previously said that if the state Supreme Court kept Seligman’s order in place, it would open the door for other communities to sue campuses for their enrollment growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an enormous limit on what any UC school, any Cal State school, any public school system can do,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Berkeley’s law school, in a conversation with CalMatters before the Supreme Court issued its decision Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Thursday’s court decision wasn’t about the full merits of the case but instead was about Seligman’s decision to cap enrollment. A state court of appeals is expected to hear the full case later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers could try to fast-track a bill to exempt campus enrollment from the state’s environmental quality act, a lawmaker said last month. But UC Berkeley is supposed to inform students by March 24 whether they’re admitted and some were already informed Feb. 11. Meanwhile, May 1 is the deadline for students to put down deposits to attend the campus — and the typical deadline for colleges across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers “don’t need much time to put that together,” texted Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat from Sacramento. “We’re on the case and aware of the deadlines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a law would be a “missed opportunity,” said UC Davis law professor Chris Elmendorf, because it wouldn’t address what he says is the environmental act’s major flaw: It views population growth of any kind as pollution in urban settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/12KMGguyqRPfNjmRTNEkFK_E0pUNRnEfSnerfTcRN_qE/edit\">student government implored the state Legislature\u003c/a> today to exempt campus enrollment from the environmental act’s restrictions. In the past, Berkeley students were critical of the university’s housing plans because they threatened to displace lower-income city residents. The campus has already \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.org/2021/12/16/student-housing-uc-berkeley-walnut-street-demolition\">demolished an eight-unit rent-controlled building\u003c/a> to make room for a new student housing complex.

The city was an initial plaintiff in the lawsuit against UC Berkeley but settled with the campus before Seligman issued his enrollment cap. \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-18-Amicus-Curiae-Letter-Supreme-Court-Case-No.-S273160.pdf\">The city never sought an enrollment cap\u003c/a>; in fact, its legal team wrote to the state Supreme Court in a request to side with the UC campus and lift the enrollment cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another campus, UC Davis, made a promise to tie enrollment growth to more housing but \u003ca href=\"https://ucdavis.app.box.com/s/gq0jfianaphpgtafrzvoqe3hq5fwxlz8\">the penalty for missing its targets is $500 per bed\u003c/a>, according to a legal deal it made with the local government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bokovoy said UC Berkeley could expand its campus elsewhere in the Bay Area and not in the city of Berkeley, such as in nearby Richmond. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/UC-Berkeley-suspends-plans-to-build-Global-Campus-9187281.php\">Early plans for a satellite campus\u003c/a> there fell through in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, if community groups target other campuses for their enrollment growth, those lawsuits may be short-lived if the court of appeals overturns Seligman’s ruling once it hears the full UC Berkeley case later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chemerinsky, the UC Berkeley law school dean, said the UC Berkeley case introduces larger questions about the state’s main environmental law at the center of the lawsuit and the role courts play in university affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a real question of how much do we want the courts in the name of [the environmental law] to be controlling enrollment in the UC system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For writer, playwright and political commentator Wajahat Ali, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/01/25/1075283913/wajahat-alis-go-back-to-where-you-came-from-is-biting-and-funny-and-full-of-hear\">it’s also the title of his new book\u003c/a> — a memoir he calls “a love letter to a country that doesn’t love us back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book traces Ali’s childhood in Fremont through his activism as a UC Berkeley student after 9/11, and the challenges he’s faced as a son, a father and a writer. It chronicles his near-death from a heart condition, his young daughter getting cancer and his parents going to jail. The book is also, somehow, hysterically funny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ali shared some of his reflections about Islamophobia, humor and resilience with The California Report Magazine host Sasha Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Interview excerpts have been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On representations of South Asians and Muslims in pop culture\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Growing up as a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I inhaled American pop culture. Growing up, you don’t sit there and go, “I am a Muslim Pakistani son of immigrants. I am left-handed and wearing Husky pants.” You’re like, “I’m just a kid and I’m an American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you internalize being the other. You see movies where you are either the sidekick, the villain or you’re completely invisible. Like action movies where Chuck Norris used to go to Middle Eastern countries and just blow up swaths of brown people all the time. He was the hero and you’re rooting for him. Or you’re watching that movie “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Even then, as a 5-year-old, I’m like, “This is not how my people are. We don’t eat chilled monkey brains or drink eyeball soup.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then you don’t realize, oh, the joke’s on me. I’m the bad guy. What does that do to your sense of self-worth, your self-esteem, your image of beauty? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you love yourself or do you hate yourself? Are you taught to hate the color of your skin, the shape of your nose, your ethnic last name? Many people, without ever really thinking about it, internalize these images, for the rest of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An excerpt from “Go Back to Where You Came From”:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’m about as American as chicken korma, apple pie, and chai, but even after forty years, I’m still told to “go back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In America, who (and what) are you when you’re both “us” and “them”? When I’m a native but seen as a foreigner? When I’m a citizen but also seen as a perpetual suspect? When I’m your neighbor but also seen as an invader? When I’m a cultural creator but also seen as an eraser of white identity and European civilization?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to mainstream code, I will never be “ordinary” or “a real American” from the “Rust Belt” (unless you consider California the heartland which, let’s face it, no one does). My parents are seen by some as potential terrorists because they’re from Pakistan, even though they’ve lived in this country for over forty years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can I be a “real” American when I’m not white no matter how much Fair & Lovely cream I slather on my skin? The answer in 2022 is “Yes, but with conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I don’t want conditional love. I want more from America and my fellow Americans.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11903778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 832px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11903778 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110.jpeg\" alt=\"group family photo of 5 people\" width=\"832\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110.jpeg 832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110-800x627.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110-160x125.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Wajahat Ali (far left) with family, including his parents and grandmother. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Wajahat Ali)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>On life as a young Muslim in post-9/11 America\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I was liberal in college and was, I guess you could say, an accidental activist.

They haven’t tasted poverty. They read about oppression. They’ve never been oppressed. They’re like cul-de-sac social justice warriors, right? Their heart is in the right place. Their mind is in the right place. I was like that, but I didn’t really taste it. My [immigrant] parents tasted it. But they protected me.

It chronicles his near-death from a heart condition, his young daughter getting cancer and his parents going to jail.

Growing up, you don’t sit there and go, “I am a Muslim Pakistani son of immigrants. I am left-handed and wearing Husky pants.” You’re like, “I’m just a kid and I’m an American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you internalize being the other. You see movies where you are either the sidekick, the villain or you’re completely invisible. Like action movies where Chuck Norris used to go to Middle Eastern countries and just blow up swaths of brown people all the time. He was the hero and you’re rooting for him. Or you’re watching that movie “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Even then, as a 5-year-old, I’m like, “This is not how my people are. We don’t eat chilled monkey brains or drink eyeball soup.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then you don’t realize, oh, the joke’s on me. I’m the bad guy. What does that do to your sense of self-worth, your self-esteem, your image of beauty? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you love yourself or do you hate yourself? Are you taught to hate the color of your skin, the shape of your nose, your ethnic last name? Many people, without ever really thinking about it, internalize these images, for the rest of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An excerpt from “Go Back to Where You Came From”:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’m about as American as chicken korma, apple pie, and chai, but even after forty years, I’m still told to “go back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In America, who (and what) are you when you’re both “us” and “them”? When I’m a native but seen as a foreigner? When I’m a citizen but also seen as a perpetual suspect? When I’m your neighbor but also seen as an invader? When I’m a cultural creator but also seen as an eraser of white identity and European civilization?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to mainstream code, I will never be “ordinary” or “a real American” from the “Rust Belt” (unless you consider California the heartland which, let’s face it, no one does). My parents are seen by some as potential terrorists because they’re from Pakistan, even though they’ve lived in this country for over forty years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can I be a “real” American when I’m not white no matter how much Fair & Lovely cream I slather on my skin? The answer in 2022 is “Yes, but with conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I don’t want conditional love. I want more from America and my fellow Americans.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11903778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 832px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11903778 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110.jpeg\" alt=\"group family photo of 5 people\" width=\"832\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110.jpeg 832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110-800x627.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/young-waj-fam-e1643842585110-160x125.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Wajahat Ali (far left) with family, including his parents and grandmother. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Wajahat Ali)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>On life as a young Muslim in post-9/11 America\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I was liberal in college and was, I guess you could say, an accidental activist.

I am Black and Filipino. I’m a woman. I identify as a lot of things, [I’m] a multifaceted person. The question is definitely interesting. When I get asked it, I like to kind of give people a little bit more of my personality. I’m like, “Oh, I’m funny” or “I’m cool” or things like that. Just so they have to really explicitly ask, “What is your ethnic or racial background?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CS: I’m 48, and I’ve been asked that same question for a long time. When I was younger, it was awkward. Sometimes it depended on who was asking the question. If it was somebody who was white, I would be a little bit curious about why they’re asking that question. If [it was] someone who is Filipino, too, or African American or mixed themselves, I would get what they’re trying to figure out and it wouldn’t bother me as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894920\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 512px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11894920\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family.jpeg 512w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-160x117.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camille Seiberling and her husband and two kids. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Camille Seiberling)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KB: Yeah, it really depends on who I’m interacting with and like how they construct race by their experiences. In Santa Clarita, which is a predominantly white community, the people there have a very narrow perception of Blackness. So when they see me, it’s very much like I am the tokenized Black person, like I’m the representative of the Black community. Whereas when I interact with people who are in more multicultural spaces, or have a broadened view of the Black community, they will identify that I am mixed and treat me differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More From the California Report's 'Mixed' Series\" postID=\"news_11894632,news_11894597\"]CS: I know there are Black and Filipino girls like Katrina, but I didn’t have that growing up. There were mostly Black and white mixed women that I grew up around. I was really unique, and I still am, actually, in my group of friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: I think that we really all find like a collective identity in this feeling of never fitting in or never feeling like you’re fully anything. And then when you find a space with other mixed people who feel the same way, then you kind of take a step back and realize, “Oh, I am a full person. I can be fully Black and fully Filipino. I can just be truly me without having to deal with other people’s opinions on what my racial makeup is and like what that says about me. It’s just truly who I am.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Race is a lot about how you’re perceived\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>CS: Being mixed, I never really felt that people thought I was African American. I was an actress for a while, [and when] I was going out for parts, they always wanted me to be Latina. When I went to Vietnam, they thought I was Vietnamese. When I went to Morocco, they thought I was Moroccan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Racially I think I present as Black. But culturally, I feel like I still hold Filipino traditions and practices. So growing up in a suburban community that’s majority white, a lot of people have these racial assumptions like [from] the get-go. They see one Black person — because there’s not that many Black people in my suburban city — and so they see me and they’re like, “OK, she knows everything. I bet she can rap all the Drake songs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894918\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11894918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Bullock (far left) and her parents and sister. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Katrina Bullock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Anti-blackness within mixed families\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KB: One of the first racialized experiences I remember having was in my elementary school. I went to a school where there was a large Filipino population, and I had a classmate who was Filipino and our moms were friends. We were on the playground playing tag, and I tagged him. I’m sure I said something a little bit arrogant, like, “I got you,” and he turned around, and said, “Well, at least I’m not Black.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Later] [m]y dad [told my mom], “Well, she is Black. That’s just something that she’s going to learn.” That was just my first experience, understanding the aggression that I would face because I’m Black. From that moment forward, I think my dad made it a really strong point in our household for me to know my Black history.

I am Black and Filipino. I’m a woman. I identify as a lot of things, [I’m] a multifaceted person. The question is definitely interesting. When I get asked it, I like to kind of give people a little bit more of my personality. I’m like, “Oh, I’m funny” or “I’m cool” or things like that. Just so they have to really explicitly ask, “What is your ethnic or racial background?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CS: I’m 48, and I’ve been asked that same question for a long time. When I was younger, it was awkward. Sometimes it depended on who was asking the question. If it was somebody who was white, I would be a little bit curious about why they’re asking that question. If [it was] someone who is Filipino, too, or African American or mixed themselves, I would get what they’re trying to figure out and it wouldn’t bother me as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894920\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 512px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11894920\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family.jpeg 512w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-160x117.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camille Seiberling and her husband and two kids. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Camille Seiberling)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KB: Yeah, it really depends on who I’m interacting with and like how they construct race by their experiences. In Santa Clarita, which is a predominantly white community, the people there have a very narrow perception of Blackness. So when they see me, it’s very much like I am the tokenized Black person, like I’m the representative of the Black community. Whereas when I interact with people who are in more multicultural spaces, or have a broadened view of the Black community, they will identify that I am mixed and treat me differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There were mostly Black and white mixed women that I grew up around. I was really unique, and I still am, actually, in my group of friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: I think that we really all find like a collective identity in this feeling of never fitting in or never feeling like you’re fully anything. And then when you find a space with other mixed people who feel the same way, then you kind of take a step back and realize, “Oh, I am a full person. I can be fully Black and fully Filipino. I can just be truly me without having to deal with other people’s opinions on what my racial makeup is and like what that says about me. It’s just truly who I am.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Race is a lot about how you’re perceived\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>CS: Being mixed, I never really felt that people thought I was African American. I was an actress for a while, [and when] I was going out for parts, they always wanted me to be Latina. When I went to Vietnam, they thought I was Vietnamese. When I went to Morocco, they thought I was Moroccan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Racially I think I present as Black. But culturally, I feel like I still hold Filipino traditions and practices. So growing up in a suburban community that’s majority white, a lot of people have these racial assumptions like [from] the get-go. They see one Black person — because there’s not that many Black people in my suburban city — and so they see me and they’re like, “OK, she knows everything. I bet she can rap all the Drake songs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894918\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11894918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Bullock (far left) and her parents and sister. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Katrina Bullock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Anti-blackness within mixed families\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KB: One of the first racialized experiences I remember having was in my elementary school. I went to a school where there was a large Filipino population, and I had a classmate who was Filipino and our moms were friends. We were on the playground playing tag, and I tagged him. I’m sure I said something a little bit arrogant, like, “I got you,” and he turned around, and said, “Well, at least I’m not Black.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Later] [m]y dad [told my mom], “Well, she is Black. That’s just something that she’s going to learn.” That was just my first experience, understanding the aggression that I would face because I’m Black. From that moment forward, I think my dad made it a really strong point in our household for me to know my Black history. We watched a lot of movies and documentaries about Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894919\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 512px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11894919\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg\" alt=\"A family photo of eight people in front of the TransAmerica Pyramid building in San Francisco.\" width=\"512\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg 512w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid-160x101.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camille Seiberling, second from right, and the Filipino side of her family pose in front of San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Camille Seiberling)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>CS: I didn’t have that, not only because my parents separated, [but] because they didn’t talk about our history or what they felt about it.
