In this one, Jane tunes Michael's algorithms regarding race issues, and Michael also give a few good insights into race in business. It's dedicated to all our Asian American peers, who are out there trying to make a positive change in the world regarding racial issues. You guys rock.
Disclaimer: In no way, shape, or form are we trying to detract the attention away from Black voices and experiences in this podcast. We only focus on the role Asian Americans play in the perpetuation of racism against Black people because we feel that is the only area we're qualified to talk about at anything length. Black voices need to be amplified more than ever during these times and we hope we can inspire even just one listener (if you're out there) to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
And we can't believe we still feel the need to mention this but - this is not an attack on white people or the character of individual white people. At the same time, THIS AINT ABOUT YOUUUUUUU SO TAKE A SEAT
