AAUC Podcast

In this podcast, we will focus on the hate crisis that our community faces due to COVID 19. When our innocent, respected seniors, vulnerable children, and women were being attacked, the urge to do good, to defend our community is hard to resist in each of us. It is heart-warming to see our Asian American community rises up, unites, and speaks out against hate. We, the silent minority can no longer be silent.

There were many notable rallies, vigils, and protests held in various parts of the US since the beginning of the year. Each brought us closer to the realization that we need to unite and reach out for all the public support to combat and overcome the stigma of being perpetual foreigners in a land that we all belong. We need to bring change to the system to eradicate hate and racism.

The wellbeing of our community hinges on good healthcare which is an important building block in our collective American dream. In this podcast, we focus on the health crises in our AAPI community during the pandemic of COVID19. Our complex communities face double crises in being disproportionately infected and died as well as being stigmatized as the harbinger of the virus. We are combating the viruses of the disease as well as misguided hate.

What we learned from this podcast includes the pandemic only heightens our long, existing problems in overcoming the stigma, language, and cultural barriers of being an Asian American and Pacific Islander in the US. A big part of good healthcare, especially in our complex communities that speak 32 different languages from widely different cultures, not only includes early detection, prevention, cure, and healing care, it should also be proximal to and advocate for those in needs. The power of advocacy starts with discussing the issues among our family and friends which we all can do.

AAUC’s third Podcast episode “Racial Profiling, a Threat to our American Dream” focuses on the “China Initiative”. We wish to first, however, acknowledge and condemn the recent Atlanta murders which is a traumatic blow to our entire country. We at AAUC join Asian Americans and all Americans in working to end racial violence, racial profiling, and racial discrimination. Although our episode tonight is not about racial violence, it is but another example of other methods employed that improperly and adversely affect and victimize Asian American professional lives and their families by using racial profiling and discrimination.

In building our collective American Dream, AAUC recognizes having Asian American political representation is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Currently, there are three senators and 16 US congressional members with Asian American heritage. Among them, Senator Kamala Harris has resigned to become Vice president while four US congressional members and 30+ presidential appointees are of Indian American origin.

Why are South Asian Americans so successful in US political engagement and what we can learn from their success.

AAUC invited three Indian American Community leaders to share their personal experiences on how Indian Americans become politically active and successful in the US. Their stories give insights to other minorities and learn from their success.
