We've waited so long for a Hapa Hero! Jason Momoa stormed into our hearts as Aquaman, a shirtless, wet, halfbreed superhero. Do we spend a lot of time talking about how hot he is? Yes! Do we also discuss how Aquaman is Hapa AF? YES!  Also, happy Season 4!  Asians in Movies 2018: https://tinyurl.com/y7au3cfk  Nerds of Color Review: https://tinyurl.com/y8luchct  Hapa Mag: https://tinyurl.com/y8ocnuam 100 Most Handsome Men: https://tinyurl.com/y7mjk2xr 

Melissa has lived in all four time zones in the contiguous United States. A former actor in Seattle, WA, Melissa now resides in NYC as a content creator. She produces and co-hosts the We're Not All Ninjas podcast with Alex Chester and Rachel Liu. The Asian American ladies watch Hollywood films that either features an Asian director or Asian actors. Then they critique it and rate how well the movie represented Asians. She is also the managing editor of The Hapa Mag. Melissa speaks about being HAPA (Half Asian/Half White) in America and educates us on how we can be more inclusive.

You may be wondering: Sandie, where have you been? Her apartment flooded, and she got very exhausted by the end of it all (it's actually still an ongoing issue). But this week, she's back! And she's joined by Melissa Slaughter, former actress and current co-creator of Hapa Mag and co-host of the podcast "We're Not All Ninjas." They talk about Celeste Ng's latest article about the harassment of Asian American women. Melissa tells the story of the forgotten Japanese-American Zoot Suiters, the bad boys that both Melissa and Sandie probably would have fallen for. Sandie talks about high school history projects. They both urge everyone to go to therapy and avoid the downfalls of the dreaded intergenerational trauma.  

For our third episode of Dash American we brought in our fierce friends from Hapa Mag, a publication by Hapas for everyone, to talk about their experiences walking through the world as Hapas, or half Asian/Pacific Islander. Featuring Hapa founder Alex Chester & project manager Melissa Slaughter, we chat about language, building your own tribe, & what's up next for Hapa Mag. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dashamerican/support
