Ep. 80: Come All Ye Asian American Writers, Unpaid and Overlooked

The time has come: Plan A Magazine has started a Patreon at $5/month. We are beginning an experiment. The idea is to use Patreon to create an Asian American writers fund. It's one thing to encourage and platform writers; it's another thing to pay them. Oxford, Jess, Mark, Teen, and Plan A's newest editor, Diana talk about the Patreon, as well as white people ranking Southeast Asian cuisine, and a U.S. State Dept. official calling China the first "non-Caucasian" competitor.
