Because I Said So—S2E8: Normalized Racism: Amplifying AAPI Voices


Listen Later

In this episode, Sooa Chung details her experiences growing up as a first generation Korean-American facing racism and pressures from both cultures. Touching upon the recent violence against the AAPI community, she informs allies what they can do to help and educate themselves, the difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation, and fetishization of Asians. Additionally, she touches on some of the internal strife within the AAPI community, including colorism, spousal abuse, and body image issues, that she and several others hope to see change in the future. 

I learned so much through this beautiful conversation, and I can't wait for you to hear it!
