Asian Experiences in the U.S.

Why did you choose this theme?

|
COVID has kicked up waves of anti-Asian hate and revealed ugly truths about our country. We often group Asian people by simple physical characteristics and don't understand the huge disparities — resulting from immigration, language, culture, socio-economic status, and more — in the lived Asian experience, and we end up with harmful stereotypes like the "model minority myth."
As biracial best friends — we are both white and Japanese — and social justice podcasters/authors who are each daughters of a Japanese immigrant parent, uprooting myths and systemic racism against Asian people is part of our mission.
