Get ready to be BOTHERED. With Lunar New Year around the corner Julie Kim revisits a moment that still annoys her years later when a local politician showed up at her door and confidently wished her a Happy Chinese New Year in the wrong language. From being constantly mistaken for something she is not to schools politicians and even Google blurring the lines between Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year Julie unpacks cultural assumptions ignorance and why intent does not cancel impact. Along the way she reflects on Korean New Year traditions food money identity and what it actually means to be inclusive without trying too hard or doing zero research.
