Fight Against Anti-Asian Bullying: How To Understand Communities Outside Our Own NowThis Kids

Since news first broke that COVID was detected in Wuhan, China, the world has seen a rise in attacks against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. This is because there are many people looking to assign blame for the pandemic. 

This week, we dig into how harmful this false narrative can be for Asian Americans and how we all need to do our part to stand up against hate.

We talk to Emily Ku and Joyce Y. Lee, authors of the children’s book ‘Young, Proud and Sung-jee.’ who discuss how to have meaningful conversations about anti-Asian bullying and racism. 

Correspondent Luria Freeman teaches us what ‘perspective’ really means and how considering different perspectives can help us better understand those who are different from us.

How are you standing up against bullying? We want to hear about it! Send us an email to kids@nowthismedia.com
