27. Asian Racism Part 2: Racism within Asia

04/20/21 • 53 min

We tried our best to address the elephant in the room, racism in Asian communities. We ask for your gracious understanding as we uncover delicate and sensitive topics such as Asian friend groups, internalized racism, Yellow Fever, and racism/ colorism in Korea.
DISCLAIMER: We address the topic with our perspectives as Koreans. While we're only able to speak on our own behalf, we acknowledge that the term "Asian" encompasses far more diverse backgrounds.
