The Roots of Asian Hate in America ft. Tianna Andresen & Nikki Do

In light of the ongoing violence against the AAPI community, this is part of one of my mini series called "Stop Asian Hate". Though the words "Stop Asian Hate" may seem empty, the conversations being held in this episode and in the upcoming episodes are aiming to change the discourse of what it means to stop hating on Asian-Americans. Joined with me today, Tianna and Nikki provide context as to why Asian xenophobia has increased and its historical ties in American society and white supremacy. Now with the recent massacre of 6 Asian women being gunned down in Atlanta, Georgia, it's important that Asian-American women start speaking up about incidents like this or their own similar experiences because we aren't as "submissive" or "docile" as the media portrays us to be. We aren't saying anything new; we're simply trying to repeat what's already been said and repeatedly ignored in the AAPI community.
