We’re back, baby! We missed you all. Some quick updates: We set up a Patreon (patreon.com/politicallyasian), created a better website, made merch, and started a new opening segment for the podcast, Hot Take Hot Pot! This week we’re talking to Phillipe Thao (Twitter @shania_twink, IG @bokchoybaddie), a Hmong-American writer who has written for Catapult Magazine, Washington Post, and more. We talk to Phillipe about what it means to be Hmong, Hmong community in Minnesota, and lessons Phillipe wishes the broader Asian community could take away from the Hmong. Tune in and please give us a written Apple review! We’re one away from 25.

17: The 2020 Census Said No More White People feat. Julie Kim (Queens Borough Lead for the NYC Census 2020, Asian American Feminist Collective)

Politically Asian! Podcast

08/23/21 • 49 min

The 2020 Census data is out, baby! This week we talked with Julie Kim (@julieaekim), who was the Queens Borough Lead for the NYC Census 2020 and is also the cofounder of the Asian American Feminist Collective (@aafcollective)! We break down how the Census is not just a fun tally of the US population, but a tool that determines how much money is allocated to different states. cities, and counties every decade. Fun (potentially depressing) fact: due to the pandemic, this was the first time the Census went digital. Julie also talks about how she got started with organizing and teaches us the term grass-top organizing! Tune in to hear how we’re going to celebrate white people no longer being the plurality in Queens!

Politically Asian! Podcast

06/14/21 • 55 min

A new ride-sharing app just dropped and we are HYPE. Co-op Ride is an app made for drivers and owned by drivers. Many of New York City's taxi drivers are Asian immigrants, so of course we had to talk about this. In this episode, we talk about the history of NYC taxi drivers, how Uber and Lyft disrupted them, and how the Drivers Cooperative is here to disrupt Uber and Lyft. If you love the episode, please leave us and your local rideshare driver a 5-starred review.
