In this episode, we talked with Professor Thao Ha (@ThaoHaPhD)-- Vietnamese refugee, esteemed scholar, and producer of a documentary on Vietnamese-KKK conflict in Texas, "Seadrift." We had a fascinating conversation about immigrant groups in the U.S., Solidarity during the current rebellions, Vietnamese views on Blacks, the role of younger Vietnamese in changing politics, and the future of Vietnamese-American politics.

Thao Ha is a Vietnamese refugee who earned a doctorate in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin. She is a professor at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, CA, and has published a variety of academic works in the areas of race, gender, immigration, and Vietnamese American experiences in the South. She is an advisor and associate producer of "Seadrift," a documentary about the racial violence and KKK intimidation that erupted in the 1970s against Vietnamese Americans in a small Texas fishing town.
