Asian American lawmakers say State’s ‘assignment restrictions’ discriminate
| Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) viewed working at the State Department as a dream job until he left it after experiencing what he described as discrimination based on his Korean heritage.
Kim, the son of Korean immigrants, was informed by letter while at the agency during the Obama administration that he was barred from working on any issues related to Korea. He had never pursued work in the region but found the letter chilling. |
