Summary
This is a call to action to our listeners. Now is not the time to stay silent. On this week's episode, we discuss the prevalence of anti-Blackness in Asian communities and the history of Asian-America's upward social mobility and its benefit to White power structures. To stay silent is a privilege and only serves to reinforce White supremacy. Educate yourself, confront your privilege, engage with your peers, donate and go vote! Asian-Americans have benefited tremendously from the sacrifice of the Black civil rights movement and now it's our time to show up.
