Facing the Surge: A Heartfelt Dialogue on Asian Hate in America

The key thing is not to ignore it, but to acknowledge it, and, you know, be aware of it, be aware that you have those types of tendencies and try to make sure that your actions don't speak to those types of tendencies.
When racial hatred rears its ugly head, it affects entire communities. In this episode of 'Affliction & Resilience', Judy Mandel sits down with her friend Rachel Wong to discuss the troubling rise of anti-Asian violence in America. Rachel, a seasoned writer with a passion for speculative fiction, opens up about her personal encounters with racial hatred in New York City.
The conversation goes beyond just recounting experiences; it delves into the impact of the pandemic on racism and the persistent stereotypes like the 'model minority' myth that continue to harm Asian communities. Rachel's insights are both eye-opening and deeply personal, offering listeners a chance to understand the real-life implications of racial hatred. Judy and Rachel also explore actionable steps that can be taken to combat this rising tide of violence.
Whether you're personally affected by these issues or looking to be a better ally, this episode offers a compassionate and informative perspective on a critical topic.
