Inclusion
It is a great honor to be invited to the White House today to discuss the important issues of anti-Asian crimes, Asian inclusion, and diversity.

Inclusion is the practice of providing equal access to resources for people who historically have been denied access. This includes people who face discrimination based on their race, sex, or physical condition.
