Are Asian Americans too bougie to be radical?

from The Asian Radical Tradition · host Himaya Creative

In this episode, Dr. KC Choi and Yanan Rahim Melo confront an uncomfortable question: has Asian American identity in the United States become so tied to middle-class respectability, professional success, and proximity to whiteness that radical politics feel out of reach? Choi and Melo examine how class formation and assimilationist pressures have shaped Asian American Christian life—and what it would take to break free.This is not a comfortable conversation. But it's a necessary one for anyone wondering why Asian American communities so often sit out the struggles that should be ours.
