My name is Liv, short for Olivia, who spelled H.U.

And I'm calling in to share some experiences I've had with racism as a Chinese-American woman.

The thing that has upset me the most recently is what is colloquially known as yellow fever,

or the hyper-sexualization and fetishization of primarily East Asian women.

Basically, this is when men, usually light men, but this applies to all groups of dudes,

take an interest in me solely because of the fact that I am Asian.

I have had so many arguments about this, people will ask, you know, what's wrong with having a type.

And I usually say there's not much wrong with having a physical type,

but when you start assigning personality characteristics to literal strangers on the basis of race alone,

that's racist, so stop.

Hi, my name is Esther, I'm from Columbus, Ohio,

so I am an American of Korean descent, and I am dating an African-American going on four years.

Because we are both minorities, I kind of assumed that I always had an ally, the race struggle, no questions asked.

I had no idea that we would actually be teaching and learning from each other about our own independent race struggles.

I guess I expected there to be this written code amongst all minorities that we must stick together

through all types of racial injustice.

And at times, I feel as we are all climbing over each other in this big competition of who has got it the worst.

My name is Paul Segal, and I identify South Asian.

My name is Jessica Tang, I guess we're an Asian-American, I don't know.

My name is Pablo Torre, I'm a first-generation American born in New York City.

My family is from the Philippines.

I'm Jennifer Hope Choi, I identify as being Asian-American.
