Yung-Kai Lu, a doctoral degree student, scholar, and Taiwanese immigrant is seeking justice over the US judicial system corruption and its implication on escalating Asian hate in the US, especially in Utah State.

Over the past two years, Asians living in the US have experienced increased hate crimes and attacks from members of the public. While the initial instigators are the issues of the source of the Coronavirus, there are clear indications the problem is more complicated now than initially thought.

While there are other factors, corruption in the US judicial systems has remained one of the major enablers of the increased hate crimes against Asians. The entire department is filled with individuals who are committed to ensuring that Asians don’t get the justice they deserve, no matter the situation. An example of such inhuman and unjust treatment is the case of Yung-Kai Lu, a doctoral degree student with academic excellence

After completing his master's degree in music performance at Indiana University, Bloomington, Yung-Kai attended University of Utah with a full scholarship to pursue his doctoral degree in music performance. He was also offered a graduate assistant position to help facilitate his program so he can achieve his dreams (see Photo 02).

All of his dreams came crashing down when Vice President of Students Affairs, Lori McDonald, led a social worker Ryan Randall and another eight staff members, as they put up few criminal charges, mental disorder and fake job performance reports against him ( see Photo 03). These charges were falsely manufactured by Lori McDonalds and the social worker Ryan Randall with faculty members in the school of music and Yung-Kai has been stripped off his academic benefits since 2010. It's 2022 and no justice has prevailed over Lu ’s case.

Going through the US courts for Yung-kai Lu in an effort to get justice has proven to be impossible. The system has been rigged against him, not because of lack of evidence, but simply because he’s an immigrant Asian and they believe he doesn’t deserve justice in the US, a country established on the values of democracy, equal opportunity, freedom, equity, and justice. For more than a decade, Yung-Kai sought justice in the US courts and for every step he took he met a brick wall with clear indications from the players in the field of justice that his race is an issue.

One of the drawbacks affecting Yung-Kai Lu is that he cannot afford any legal support so he has to fight his case on his own and this disadvantage affects the judicial system and his chances of getting justice.

Yung-Kai is just one of thousands or even millions of victims who are oppressed by a system built to protect them, especially in the state of Utah. Around 2004, Christina Axson-Flynn, a former University of Utah Theater Arts student, filed a suit against the university and its faculty members for denying her rights not to speak offensive words" fuck" during an acting course. Despite the case going on for years, Christina’s stories were reported in the news without mentioning the school made it compulsory for every student in program to use the word “fuck”. This shows the school goes to the length of influencing the local news media to cover their tracks. (see Photo 04)
