  • Please stop hating Micronesians

    I wanted to put out an episode on anti-Micronesian hate. I say it in the pod and will again, I did NOT do the subject justice. I do not know that there is a right way to unload all that is hateful towards our people. Either way, I felt compelled to at least address it and start the discussion.
