"We don't represent all Asians on campus," Yang said. "We're individuals, so we don't have group sponsorship."
At the same time, Yang said she felt the scope of the issue was not necessarily limited to Asian-Americans.
"I think a lot of people are misunderstanding why we're doing this march," she said. "What we really hope to do is build a coalition of organizations on campus."
"I think the reason this piece was written is there is a general lack of understanding in the community," Yang said.
She then invited other speakers to share their feelings with the group.
Some of those who stepped forward expressed a similar feeling about the broader scope of yesterday's march.
"It's all because we identify with being a marginalized group," said Kiara Alvarez '01.
Others who spoke at yesterday's event also said they felt it was a top priority to organize Harvard's different ethnic groups into a coalition to combat ethnic stereotyping and racism.
