In the first episode of Narratives of Asia, we will be hosting a two-part series discussing the coronavirus outbreak and its social impact. Since the outbreak, we have noticed a sudden rise in explicit racism and xenophobia towards Asians. On Episode 1.1, Yoojin Lee, first-year Law student at UCL, will be sharing with us her experiences growing up as the ‘racial minority’ as well as her perspectives on social media aggravation of racist and xenophobic attitudes.
