The Pilates Class from Casual Racism HELL

Pilates class... so unassuming. Little did I know what was to come.

There are some of us out there who understand what it’s like to be the subject in a racist situation. But this experience that I endured one summer- attending ongoing sessions of racism that I was paying to be in- was something new and fresh for a racism vet like myself.

K-TOWN Part 2- Accent Attack!

In this episode of K-TOWN, Jowe and Scarlet duke it out at a bachelor party, putting up their fists and taking their best shots in the form of… bad Asian accents.

Taking Yellow Peril Back

Yellow Peril is a term mainly used in the early-mid 20th century to refer to the movement of the Asian people into Western countries. This term came to express a fear of Asians as dangerous, non-human creatures taking over the workforce and destroying the "values" of Western culture.

Racism is rampant and thriving in America today, perpetuated in every false stereotype and ignorant assumption by the mainstream media and the misinformed.

The Asian American experience is nuanced in its complexity, and heavily affected by the racism endured over generations. In exploring my experience, I aim to be as transparent as possible about the racial politics I have faced within and outside of the Asian American community.
