Ep. 196: What Is The Purpose of the Asian American In These Times? (ft. Emily Dong)

Emily Dong joins Diana and Teen for an expansive chat about what the role of an Asian American actually is in America during these stressful times. What connects COVID, the protests against police murder, and the rampant Sinophobia of the New Cold War? Emily brings a perspective informed by Black Radicalism, which can bring a lot of clarity to an era of spiraling confusion.
