92. This Week in Asian American Politics: Changing Races to Asian through Lofi Music, Nikki Haley & Vivek, Viral Copwatchers on Youtube, Jollibee Wage Theft, Twitter Loses Advertisers and Sues CCDH Politically Asian! Podcast
-
- Comedy
This week in Asian American news:
We dive into the world of people who think they can change their race, specifically to Asian. And they believe listening to certain Youtube videos can help. Has Lo-fi Hip Hop Anime Chill Beats to Study and Relax To gone too far?
Two Indian Americans, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, are running for President. We discuss how they handle the whole “running as a brown person when your party hates brown people” thing.
While most of us can agree influencers are kinda annoying and usually when you hear about YouTubers, it’s giving some kind of apology, we learn about the world of cop-watchers or “auditors” and how they’ve held police departments accountable. Praxis!
Jollibee in NJ is not so jolly after allegedly firing workers who asked for better working conditions. Those better working conditions? A mere $3/wage increase.
Champion of free speech, Elon Musk, sues a non-profit for posting facts about how hate speech is up 200% on Twitter since he took over the platform.
-- WHAT'S POLITICALLY ASIAN PODCAST? --
We're two Asian American comedians talking about politics and the Asian American community to get more Asians talking about politics! Join Aaron Yin (he/him) and Gerrie Lim (they/them) for 45 minutes-ish each week as we discuss current topics and events related to Asian Americans through the lenses of history, class, and advocacy.
