Updated: Dec. 21, 11:56 a.m. | Posted Dec. 20, 1:33 p.m. Two-and-a-half-year-old Emilio is a little shy as he meets “Santa Herman.” Herman, whose real name is Mitchell Mittelstaedt, tries to get the toddler to tell him what kind of toys he wants from Santa. “Do you like soccer balls or cars or trains or Legos?” asks Herman in Spanish. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Emilio Melara discussed what to ask Santa Herman for Christmas at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Nov. 21. Herman is bilingual and speaks Spanish. The toddler's mother, Carolina Cano-Garnica, nudges Emilio along and, says in Spanish, “Tell him that you like planes.”  “Yes, the planes!” Emilio says.  To that, Santa Herman enthusiastically responds “Orale!” Or, Right on. Cano-Garnica says Emilio attends bilingual Spanish immersion daycare and they speak English and Spanish at home. “It was really cool to listen to someone interact with him in Spanish and use the slang that we use and it made it, I think, a little less intimidating for Emilio,” she says. Gallery Kerem Yücel | MPR News Emilio Melara poses with Santa Herman at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Nov. 21. Melara's mother said it was "really cool" for him to interact with a Spanish speaking Santa. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Santa Herman is one of several Santas that break the traditional mold this year at the Mall of America. The Santa Experience, which has two locations at the Mall of America, has expanded its racial, ethnic and linguistic representation of Santa Claus. Co-owners Rachael Zuleger and Landon Luther, who are both white, have hired an Asian American Santa who speaks in Cantonese and English. In addition to Santa Herman, who speaks English and Spanish, the company has for the first time two African American Santas at the same time — one of whom communicates in sign language. Cano-Garnica browsed the Santa Experience website and found the Spanish speaking Santa, which she called “super cool.” “I never really thought that we were being underrepresented until we started being represented. It just became something that we got used to.” she said. Representation matters, said Richard Lee, professor of psychology and director of the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Minnesota. He says while Black Santa has become a more common sight over the last decade, it's rare to see an Asian American portray Santa Claus. He said St. Nick is an iconic figure while Asian Americans have been seen as foreigners. “One could make the case that an Asian American Santa is pushing against this foreigner stereotype. An Asian American portraying Santa Claus also provides children with alternate narratives of who represents joy, love and charity,” Lee said. “These are not the values and behaviors limited to certain groups but can be embodied by Asian Americans.” Enter “Santa Allan,” aka Allan Siu from the Dallas Area. He was recruited to The Santa Experience by “Santa Larry” who was the company's first Black Santa in 2016. Siu says he wanted to make sure his son, now seven years old, saw a Santa that looked like him. “Being Asian, well, I know that I'm not, the typical Santa. And then just to have this opportunity, it's just something I never imagined,” Siu  said. “So I'm just really grateful. Excited for it.” Gallery Kerem Yücel | MPR News Santa Allan is from Dallas and was recruited to participate in the Santa Experience in Minnesota. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Ethan, 2, and Tiara, 3, left to right, discussed what to ask Santa Allan for Christmas at the Santa Experience at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., Dec. 8. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Santa Allan said he never thought he would have an experience like this and is "very excited" to provide Asian representation. To Luther, adding the various Santas of color and those who speak a second language was a natural step, “There's a lot of cultures that celebrate Christmas. And we wanted to represent all these cultures,” Luther said. “So really just being open minded to, you know, who wants to play this magical guy?” When the Santa Experience added Santa Larry six years ago, Zuleger said they did not expect the swirl of local and national publicity that followed. “We were a little gobsmacked by it, but it's just so much bigger than, you know, what we're doing here,” Luther said. Myatta Flanagan, who is African American, is a big fan of Santa Larry. She and her children have visited with him over the years. Flanagan grew up in Coon Rapids, Minn., but now lives in Texas where Santa Larry, aka Larry Jefferson, is based. The Flanagans — Micah, age 7, and Elijah, age 6, have traveled to Minnesota to visit in-person with him for the first time since the pandemic started. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Santa Larry speaks at elementary schools, colleges and major churches as well. “It's just been so fun and full and it enriched my life spiritually as well." he said. While the kids visit with Santa Larry in a room decorated to the hilt with Christmas decorations, he asks them some standard Santa questions. He asks if they are being good and listening to their parents, to which each child answers, ‘yes.'   “Guess what?,” asks Santa Larry. “You're on the nice list!” It means a lot to Micah and Elijah to meet with Santa Larry. “They get so excited because he looks like them,” said Flanagan. “And it just makes holidays. It just makes it so special. That they can relate to him.” Flanagan says engaging with an African American Santa Larry is important to her as well. “It's something that I never had as a child growing up. And always wanted, but never had the opportunity,” she said. Since his introduction to the Twin Cities, Santa Larry, who is based in Dallas says his schedule has been full and fast-paced. There's not enough Santa Larry's to go around, he says. Gallery Kerem Yücel | MPR News Elijah, 6, left, and Micah, 7, center poses with Santa Larry at the Santa Experience at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., Nov. 23. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Kennedy and Eira Chambers (left to right), twins sisters discussed what to ask Santa Larry for Christmas at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., Nov. 23. Kerem Yücel | MPR News Rachael Zuleger, co-owner of the Santa Experience says she has seen first-hand how having diverse Santas helps children. "They won't know that at some point there wasn't a Black Santa to see,” Zuleger said. “That's how it should be.” “I speak at elementary schools, I speak at colleges. And I meet at major churches to take pictures with children. And I'm also Santa Claus in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry.” Jefferson said. “But it's just been so fun and full and it enriched my life spiritually as well.” Zuleger, co-owner of the Santa Experience, says she witnessed the impact of a racially diverse Santa Claus. She remembers in Santa Larry's first year that a grandmother joined her grandkids for a visit with Jefferson. “She was just crying in the corner,” Zuleger said. “And she just said, ‘I've never seen a Black Santa my whole life.' And this just means the world to me.'” The grandmother, said Zuleger, joined in the family picture with Santa Larry. “The best part for me was that the kid won't know any different. They won't know that at some point there wasn't a Black Santa to see,” Zuleger said. “That's how it should be.” Correction (Dec. 21, 2022): A previous version of this story misspelled Mitchell Mittelstaedt's name. The story has been updated.

To celebrate Welcoming Week 2022, a week when communities and organizations across the entire country come together to recognize America's diverse heritage and to reaffirm that everyone is welcome here, today's conversation focuses on one of the largest immigrant groups in the U.S.: Asian Americans. This episode's guest is Dr. Neil Ruiz, associate director of race and ethnicity research at the Pew Research Center in Washington DC, who has spent his career studying the international movement of people across borders, high-skilled immigration globally, and in recent years his focus has been studying the Asian American population in the US, something that resonates with him as he is himself Asian American. Prior to joining the Center, Neil has held roles at George Washington University, the Brookings Institution, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Today's episode focuses on a large and new research initiative that he has been leading called Being Asian in America and that released new findings just last month in August 2022. Episode Themes: The Being Asian in America initiative, its narrative and storytelling approach, and how it contributes to our understanding of Asians in America Why we need to use “hard” and “soft” data to understand immigrant communities and their stories and how the project has shaped Neil's own growth and understanding as a researcher The challenges of summarizing and extracting common themes from conversations with 264 Asians across the US, representing 18 distinct Asian ethnic origin groups and numerous languages How the mainstream American understanding of Asia as a region and what constitutes Asia has changed and evolved over time, and what the Pew project adds to our understanding of the diversity of Asians and the Asian identity in America The challenge of cultural adaptation vs identity: key differences between different generations of Asian American immigrants. How racial and ethnic identity intersects with other aspects of identity such as gender or being LGBTQ+ How Asians in the U.S. perceive their own identity? Where are we now and do Asian Americans feel a sense of belonging in the U.S., especially given the recent wave of hate crimes against Asians? What leading a project on Asian Americans means for Neil personally, as the child of Filipino immigrants to the U.S. Episode Resources: The Pew Research Center's Being Asian in America project Check out the documentary film from the project!

Gaming nowadays is considered cool. People scramble for the latest sold-out systems or newest hottest games because it's not only fun to play, but is also now socially acceptable. Gaming has evolved into a recreation for both the young and old, and this evolution has turned it into the billion-dollar industry it is today. Esports is now a thing and can be considered a full-time job with the possibility of earning millions from it. But it wasn't always so, esports wasn't an everyday word 10 years ago and was probably non-existent in the 90s (with the exception of perhaps Asia). Back then, there was a negative stigma associated with being a gamer, with images of an overweight nerd closed up at home drinking chocolate milk or pop by the gallon coming to mind. Being Asian, stereotypically, you were put in that gamer category as well, but why? Why are Asians automatically labelled as gamers? If you've ever played against someone in a game and they've said "stop going all Asian on me", then you'll know what I mean. Join us as we discuss this topic with Johnny, a self-professed longtime gamer. Johnny gets into the details of when he started gaming, his own evolution as a gamer (he presently streams his games via Twitch) and how he dealt with the stereotypes surrounding him "growing up gaming". For any listeners that can relate to this, let us know your "growing up gaming" stories at offthewok.info@gmail.com. Follow us @offthewokpodcast on Instagram as well. Thank you and we appreciate you wok'ing with us. If you'd like to check out Johnny's Twitch and the games he's currently playing, you can find him at www.twitch.tv/jonnie5.

This one is a long deep dive with Adam Hudson (Real Sankara Hours pod) and Andray Domise (Macleans) where we dig deeper into the ways that class operate within racial groups, and that broad similarities exist between Asian and Black experiences. Being Asian or Black is not just about our relative distance to the default standard of White.

Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage And Mental Health Awareness Month. May brings us a nice mish-mash of two groups that sorely need attention- Asians and the mentally ill. It’s a pretty tight Venn diagram between the two, speaking from personal experience. To me, the whole idea of an Asian identity is absurd, because “Asian” is a construct that breaks down in meaning upon inspection. Being Asian is least interesting thing about me, but the most interesting things about are because of my parents being from Asia. Really though, there was a war. That’s really the thing that shakes things up. I talk about mental health and the heroism of children as the only solution to school shooters. I ramble about the history behind the Chinese railroad workers and forgot to mention the backdrop of the Gold Rush in California, which I will undoubtedly ramble on and on about at a future point. Finally, LET’S HEAR IT FOR DENVER!!!!! They are the first US city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms and this could be the beginnings of a shift toward the psychedelic society.

Being Asian, Jonathan is quite familiar with the term "saving face." As he was growing up, he encountered many situations where he was told to make sure to do things that will "save face." What is "saving face?" And why does Jonathan say it "flies in the face of the Gospel?" Enjoy!

Ok, so we’ve been REALLY wanting to do an episode about BEING ASIAN in music. But every time we recorded something about this topic, we hated how tiresome and preachy we got. This is actually an episode we did awhile … Continued

Until a few months ago, Nadya Okamoto was ashamed of being Asian but didn't really realize it. We talk to her about how her upbringing in New York and Portland affected how she viewed herself and how a recent run for city council brought her identity issues to light. We also talk about what it's like for her now as someone who is just starting to embrace their identity. Read Nadya's piece "Until Three Months Ago, I Was Ashamed of Being Asian" on nextshark.com. The Pacific Underground collective also joins in to share their own stories of shame, self-embrace, and the on going journey of feeling comfortable in one's own skin in America. Nadya Okamoto, who grew up in Portland, OR, is 19-years-old and a Harvard sophomore. She is the Founder and Executive Director of PERIOD (period.org), an organization she founded at the age of 16. She is also the Co-founder and spokesperson of E Pluribus (eplur.org). PERIOD is now the largest youth-run NGO in women’s health, and one of the fastest growing ones here in the United States. In 2017, Nadya ran for office in Cambridge, MA. While she did not win, her campaign team made historic waves in mobilizing young people on the ground and at polls. Nadya recently signed with publisher Simon and Schuster to write a book to mobilize the Menstrual Movement, and is currently writing her manuscript. Nadyaloves to dance, whether that be for fun with friends or on Harvard’s competitive hip hop team.
