Talking about the 2024 STAATUS Index

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 21! It's time for the 2024 STAATUS Index published by The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) with partnership from Leading Asian Americans to Unite for Change (LAAUNCH), AAPI Data, and the Asian American Research Initiative. This annual survey is a social tracking and national assessment of attitudes and stereotypes towards Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. In this episode, we review the report and provide an overview of it. We also dig into each of the sections and reflect on responses. As always, we highly recommend that you download the STAATUS Index and read it yourself. It's very well written with easily accessible information, so don't be afraid that it's data-rich. In our recurring segment we ask "What's Going On?" as we reflect on the sheer number of Asian Pacific-led TV shows that have been canceled in the last year or so. It's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that the last year has seen cancellations of The Afterparty, Kung Fu, Doogie Kamealoha M.D., NCIS: Hawaiʻi, Young Rock, Quantum Leap, American Born Chinese, The Brothers Sun, Warrior, and Our Flag Means Death. We look at ratings, viewership, and ultimately ask, "What's Going On?" If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.
