During Chinese New Year, international students at Columbia University had their name text turned up in an act of racism. This has inspired several Chinese students to fight back with the campaign Say My Name about the meaning of their names.

What these dilemmas boil down to is whether or not they feel they belong. Paulina Jeng and Shuki Ma reporting for CalTV News.
