26. Asian Racism Part 1: We Speak English Too M*therf**kers

April 07, 2021 • Aster Hwang, Kenneth Kang

This week, Aster snatches Dom Daddy Angela away from her vacation to talk about what needs to be addressed: Asian racism. We start unpacking this heavy load by going over some traumatic childhood stories tainted by racist classmates and the pressure to have "English" names . Oh a PSA by the way, WE ALSO SPEAK ENGLISH if you hadn't noticed yet. Next, we delve deeper into more serious discussions of institutional racism in college endorsed by professors and the "Asian bubble." Tune in to next week to hear us sweat out as we try to walk on a fine sheet of glass while discussing Asian fetishization, internalized racism, and racism within Asian communities.

DISCLAIMER: We address the topic with our perspectives as Koreans. While we're only able to speak on our own behalf, we acknowledge that the term "Asian" encompasses far more diverse backgrounds.
