Read the latest in the special series presented by Open News, with the support from The American Press Institute.

The Seattle Asian American Film Festival (SAAFF) recently published on Instagarm "SAAFF would like to make an apology to the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community and also use this as a learning opportunity for the greater Asian American community. We no longer use terms like “AAPI” because it perpetuates harm in the continued conflation of NH/PI folks with Asians.”
This move by SAAFF echoes the sentiments from the 2020 article by Naomi Ishisaka published in The Seattle Times entitled Why it’s time to retire the term ‘Asian Pacific Islander.’
