    episode 3: the social virus — anti-asian discrimination pt.1

    Hey everyone! We're back for a bit of a more serious episode. Many apologies from Katelyn since she kept procrastinating on editing this very long episode. In this episode (and hopefully in a multi-part series), we discuss Anti-Asian violence that's become more prevalent in the news lately, the history of Asian discrimination in the US, and the power that rhetoric has in continuing to fuel prejudice and hate crimes around the world. We hope that you take some of what we say to heart and that you can find ways to connect to the topics discussed, whether that's through your peers, family, or even with yourself as we begin to take notice of the rise in racially-charged violence. As always, please feel free to DM us your thoughts, questions, and whether you're interested in being featured in one of our future episodes. Until next time, peas out :) Links to resources used: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/20/anti-asian-violence-us-bigotry https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/21/opinion/anti-asian-violence.html https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/12/anti-asian-violence-us-demands-response https://time.com/5938482/asian-american-attacks/ https://stopaapihate.org/ https://www.kqed.org/news/11859965/700-anti-asian-hate-incidents-reported-in-bay-area-during-pandemic-true-figures-might-be-even-worse https://stopaapihate.org/news/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/asian-american-hate-crimes/2021/02/21/c28a8e04-72d9-11eb-b8a9-b9467510f0fe_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_7
