Not supported, because the author doesn’t recommend what should be a “primary” area of study. In addition, the author’s lessons focus on the identification with and participation in struggles for economic/social justice; a general study of history and culture are not part of the takeaways.

Such communities can ████ ████████████ ████████ ███ ██████████ █████ █████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████████
Not supported, because although the author suggests the “most effective” means of empowering ethnic communities may be identification/participation in struggles for justice in the country of origin, this doesn’t involve addressing “problems of young people of all backgrounds” including privileged backgrounds. Further, the reference to common interests in P3 relates to common interests among “Korean workers, Korean Americans, the working class, and a broad spectrum of community leaders.” This doesn’t suggest we can empower communities by emphasizing problems of “all backgrounds.”

The author doesn’t connect higher levels of privilege with increased tendency to be close to cultural roots. If anything, the author suggests the opposite.

The politicization of ████ █ █████████ ██ ████████ ██ ██████ █████████ ████ █████ ██████ ██████ ███ ██████ ████████
Anti-supported, because the author discusses how Korean Americans were able to make alliances with social justice groups within the larger society.
