In honour of Asian Heritage Month and the recent rise in API hate, we decided to record an episode to discuss the model minority myth, dealing with “pick-me” Asians, and cultural appropriation. Maggie, Selina, and our first guest Wynter (!) sit down to dish about their encounters with racism — from a schoolmate telling us they hate Chinese people to getting verbally harassed in the streets of Montreal. Anti-Asian racism is very real and too normalized. We hope you guys will enjoy hearing some of our personal stories (maybe our fellow Asians can relate?), and use this as a learning opportunity.
