On Andrew Yang and how proving our "American-ness" won't end racism
In a controversial op-ed published on Washington Post, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang provides his solution to combat the xenophobia and hate Asian Americans have been receiving in the wake of COVID-19. He advises that "Asian Americans need to embrace and show our American-ness in ways we never have before." Furthermore, he cites Japanese-Americans who fought at the highest ranks of WWII as examples of this strategy's efficacy.
Taylor Weik, a Japanese-American LA-based writer has a different opinion. In this episode, Taylor shares more context on why Yang's call-to-action was dismissive to the history of Japanese-Americans and details the negative impacts of Yang's article on the Asian American community.
