Racism against people of Asian descent is not a new problem, but it’s been exacerbated lately by politicians using racist rhetoric to describe the coronavirus.

A conversation from our colleagues at The Dose.

Vivian Shaw, PhD, College Fellow, Department of Sociology at Harvard University; Lead Researcher, AAPI COVID-19 Project
