From the L.A. Times, this is Asian Enough.

Each week on this podcast, we talk to one Asian American celebrity about the joys, the complications, and everything else that comes along with

being Asian American.

I'm Frank Shaw.

And I'm Jen Yamato.

This week it's episode 17 of our podcast, the final episode of our first season, those are wild words to

say out loud, and we're joined by CBS White House correspondent

WijJang.

She'll tell us about what it's like in the White House briefing room.

Here's Wi-Jja asking a question of Press Secretary Kay Lee McInaney last month.

I have a question of my own. Last July, President Trump declared himself the least racist person there is anywhere in the world.

Why does he use racist phrases like the kung flu?

But the president doesn't.

What the president does do is point to the fact that the origin of the virus is China.

It's a fair thing to point out as China tries to ridiculously rewrite history, ridiculously

blame the coronavirus on American soldiers. This is what China is trying to do and

what President Trump is saying no China.

I will label this virus for its place of origin.

That's great thing by using the racist phrase, Kung flu.

He is linking it to its place of origin.

What if you have to say to Asian Americans who are deeply offended and worry that his

use will lead to further attacks of discrimination?
