84. This Week in Asian American Politics: Uber's Asian Head of DEI Defends White Women, Taiwan's Last Comfort Woman Dies, Asians and Hospice, Motel Patel History, Filipino Nanny Home 30 Years Later
Description
This week in Asian American politics:
Uber’s Asian American head of diversity hosts a panel called “Don’t Call Me Karen.” Wh*te supremacy? In my APAHM? It’s more likely than you think.
Taiwan’s last comfort woman dies at 92. We discuss the history of comfort women and why a lot of Asian countries hate Japan.
Apparently, Asian Americans think a lot about dying, more so with COVID and racism, but don’t do anything to plan for that? It gets a little existential in here.
A white model posts a TikTok about how her undocumented, Filipino nanny gets to return to the Philippines for the first time in 30 years to see her actual kids. What could possibly go wrong?
-- WHAT'S POLITICALLY ASIAN PODCAST? --
We're two Asian American comedians talking about politics and the Asian American community to get more Asians talking about politics! Join Aaron Yin (he/him) and Gerrie Lim (they/them) for 45 minutes-ish each week as we discuss current topics and events related to Asian Americans through the lenses of history, class, and advocacy.
