    S2 E4 - "Stop Asian Hate (An Early 2000s Retrospective)"

    The past year and a half has seen a rapid rise hate crimes toward Asian Americans - recently culminating in the tragic Atlanta Spa Shootings on March 16, 2021. Unfortunately, this trend is quintessentially American. Twenty years after the September 11th terrorist attacks, unfair, cruel, and racist treatment toward Muslim Americans and other brown skinned persons remains in full swing. This week on the Babble Bubble, Reed dives into Islamophobia of the early 21st century and how its legacy continues and feeds into a horrific side of the American experience. #StopAsianHate
