87. This Week in Asian American Politics: Indian Men Marrying and Leaving Wives Behind, the Asian American Affirmative Action Cases, AAPIs Have Limited Knowledge abt Abortion Medication, Trump Arrest

Update: 2023-06-21

Description

This week in Asian American news,

Men in India are getting married, using their dowries to get citizenship in Western countries, and leaving their new wives behind. Some of the stories get worse, with one woman being stuck with her bedridden in-laws for 24 years.

As the fight over Affirmative Action heats up even further with the Supreme Court set to announce its decision, a new survey reveals that most Asian Americans actually support Affirmative Action (just not based on race)

A study by @napawf found that most Asian Americans would flop if abortion medication was a Jeopardy category, including us (Gerrie and Aaron).

Donald Trump finally gets arrested, and it’s Florida that catches him after all?? What a strange timeline. We also discuss his seemingly infinite supply of fall guys.
