Crazy Biatch Asians

Josie Huynh is an Australian journalist of Vietnamese heritage. She's currently the editor of Domain Magazine and Domain Prestige Magazine, two Australian property publications.

We talk:
- Surfy towns and Vietnamese restaurants
- What the heck is assimilation?
- Her family's harrowing journey to Aus after the Vietnamese war
- This confusing feeling with racism that we can't put our fingers on. Help!

Today’s episode features listener horror stories to tie Season 1 into a neat little bow. From casual racism to Covid-19 verbal abuse, these stories should be told for greater awareness of the issues that the Asian community face.
Announcement: Juna has left the podcast and won’t be returning for Season 2. Juna has been fundamental to this project and we thank her for her time and hard work.

What does the future look like? Shaz would like to come back for Season 2 with a refreshed interview structure where she talks to notable Asian guests on each episode (Jackie Chan anyone?)
We both want to thank you all for supporting us throughout this season. Bye for now, but not forever.

Boba, falsies, tatts & raves. Yep we all know someone ...

Today we’re digging a little deeper than the general ABG stereotype and looking at the etymology of this cultural phenomenon. Because aside from all the dyed hair and fake eyelashes, there’s a pretty interesting meaning behind the Asian Baby Girl trope.

We’d LOVE to hear from you about your experiences with ABGs! Maybe you are one, maybe you know one. Slide into our dms on Insta @crazybiatchasians or continue the convo via email [email protected].
