Served with #StopAsianHate

Welcome back everyone! We’re so excited to be bringing you Season 2 of the Rice is Rice podcast. We’ve had a really nice and long break which left us time to think about how we’re doing things and whether we can keep it up. After our 50+ episodes-long first “season” we want to start bringing a ”quality-over-quantity’ energy to the table. Stay tuned and keep up to date with our weekly episodes for Season 2 of Rice is Rice. 

In this episode, we talk about the recent rise in hate crimes targeted towards the most vulnerable in the ESEA community. Talking about this and doing the research in the run up to recording this episode weighed heavy in our hearts which means we had to split up recording into two sessions. We talk about our personal response to all the news that we’re seeing, whether that’s compassion fatigue or the pain in seeing our own loved ones in the victims of these attacks. Aside from touching on how we personally felt about it all, we’ve tried as much as possible to talk about these issues proactively. Since we know that these incidents aren’t unique to our times we decided to speak about the systematic ways in which we’ve found ourselves in this situation now and how socio-political phenomena like the bamboo ceiling and the model minority myth has come to allow these attacks to happen in the first place.
