Today's episode seems to be addressing this question: does politics show up in our everyday lives? Maybe even in our most intimate relationships?   And while a lot of folks may be saying politics doesn't impact me, I don't do politics… we think the actual answer for most of us in this country is a resounding YES (in fact, we've recorded whole episodes and written whole book chapters on this very topic!).  Yes, politics impacts our daily lives, including being in our marriages, our parent-child relationships, and more.   We're privileged to have this conversation with someone who took the chance to use her voice in a new way - moving from academia and diving bravely into personal essays - in order to help us all hear one person's journey confronting the Model Minority Myth that so many Asian folks in America are impacted by, and inspiring us along the way.   What to listen for: The challenge in determining where the forces that shape us end, and the “real us” begins - especially when it comes to deconstructing the Model Minority Myth, or even untangling ourselves from notions like the American Dream How politics shows up in our most intimate relationships - including marriage Examples of how white folks can show up, or not, for issues around multiculturalism Where our education system is having to go to meet the population where they are when it comes to talking about politics - we're now back to discussing civility, empathy, what it means to be a citizen, and the common good About our guest:   Anne Anlin Cheng was born in Taiwan, grew up in the American South, and is the author of three books on American racial politics and aesthetics. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Cheng is the 2023–2024 Ford Scholar in Residence at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She is a professor of English and a former director of American Studies at Princeton University and lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Cultures are dynamic and powerful forces that shape our identities and influence our perspectives on the world. They serve as bridges, effortlessly connecting the depth of our heritage with the construction of our futures. But for Asian Americans, the balance between traditional values and modern ideals poses a distinct challenge as they strive to find their place within society.Between visibility and invisibility, the pervasive presence of racism, the necessity for adaptation, and the negotiation between individuality and community… The Asian American experience is as complex as it is resilient. Today's guest embodies this truth in more ways than one. Kris Yi, Ph.D., Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Throughout her career, she has dedicated her work to highlighting and raising awareness of the Asian American experience, and racial bias within psychoanalysis.  In today's episode, Kris invites us to step into her world. She illustrates her journey from South Korea to the United States, sharing the challenges of migration, the enduring impact of cultural trauma, and the art of finding the balance between two distinct cultures. Determined to break free from bias, Kris lends her voice to the Art of Listening, to offer a fresh and often overlooked perspective that defies stereotypes.Join us as Kris boldly rewrites the narrative of the Asian American experience, carving out a unique space within the realm of psychoanalysis.Chapters1 - Juggling Korean and American cultures (4:22)2 - Anti-Asian racism and the Model Minority myth (10:41)3 - Kris's experiences with Discrimination and Hypersexualisation (17:14)4 - Historical racism in Psychoanalysis (22:41)5 - Bringing new visibility to the Asian Perspective (26:08)LinksKris YiKris' Journal on the Asian Perspective in PsychoanalysisEileen DunnMore from ‘The Art of Listening'

With Prachi Gupta, author of They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies that Raised Us. The Canadian Encyclopedia says the model minority is a stereotype that “depicts Asians as hard working, successful at school and in the workplace, and as economically prosperous.”   It may seem like a positive stereotype. But it divides non-model and model racialized communities, ignores vast disparities in wealth and well-being faced by pan-Asian people, and trivializes the impacts of racism.  That the model minority stereotype is racist is no question. But how does it impact people differently depending on their gender? How does it work to alienate us from ourselves and from each other?  We're joined by Prachi Gupta, award-winning journalist and former senior reporter at Jezebel. She won a Writers Guild Award for her investigative essay “Stories About My Brother.” Her work was featured in The Best American Magazine Writing 2021 and has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post Magazine, Marie Claire, Salon, Elle, and elsewhere. They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies that Raised Us is her debut memoir, named one of the top 40 books of 2023 by Amazon and top 18 memoirs of the year by Audible. She lives in Brooklyn.  A note about content: this episode addresses gender-based violence.  Episode ⁠Transcripts⁠  Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review this podcast and share it with others.

However, the housing values of Black residents living in these areas are substantially lower compared to their white counterparts, which reveals the presence of wealth inequality even in cities where Black people are supposed to experience a better economic well-being.

  To understand the long and twisted journey to the Supreme Court's chilling decision to dismantle affirmative action in higher education and its implications, you cannot do better than to ask civil rights champion and self-described optimist John Yang. As president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, John has navigated the drumbeat to defeat affirmative action for years and a devastating rise in anti-Asian hate crimes since the emergence of Covid-19. AAJC employs a range of strategies, from education to litigation and policy advocacy to advance the rights of Asian Americans and all communities of color. John points out that the case brought before SCOTUS by white nationalist Ed Blum relies on the model minority myth, a persistent trope, and a convenient strategy for pitting Asian Americans against other people of color. In fact, the data reveals a high level of support by Asian Americans for affirmative action. John is also buoyed by the emergence of new youth-led Asian American nonprofits and the cohort of civil rights partners, including the ACLU, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, National Urban League, Lawyers Committee and MALDEF that are moving this nation towards justice.

GUEST Masaru Tanabe is a 34 year old disabled trans non-binary Japanese American fiber artist. Contracting the H1N1 (Swine flu) virus in 2009 left them with ME/CFS, a post-viral syndrome which, combined with their genetic disability of Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, has left them so disabled that they are now unable to work. They now spend their time making and selling fiber art online, and bringing awareness about Disability issues, anti-Asian Hate crimes, and Trans Rights issues. Instagram | TikTok | Ko-fi shop DEFINITIONS Pansexual - someone who is attracted – either emotionally, physically or both – to all genders. This includes cisgender, transgender, agender and gender nonconforming individuals. Ableism - discrimination against disabled people, in favor of able-bodied people. TAKEAWAYS 1. If you are a victim of discrimination, you do not owe closure to your oppressor. You do not have to suppress your own feelings in order to make them feel better about what they did. 2. Disabled is not a dirty word. It's just a fact. Talking about disability should not be a taboo. Not talking about disability keeps the disabled community invisible, and makes it harder for them to access the support they deserve. 3. The way we view disability in the west is only one of many possible ways to do so, and a better system is possible for all the stakeholders. In Japan, instead of viewing disabled people as a liability, they use technology to empower disabled people to work and to continue to be an integral part of their community. 4. Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act, the accessibility standards are not comprehensive enough to ensure access. Builders will often meet the minimum ADA requirements and neglect to add essential features such as curb cuts if they are not required to do so. 5. Anti-Asian hate crime has been on the rise since the pandemic, and many of us, myself included, do not feel safe in spaces where we are the only Asian or person of color. 6. Even if you live in a community that is deemed liberal or progressive, you cannot assume that there isn't racism. Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles are not immune to racism. If you want to be true allies, ask your friends about their experiences, and ask them how you can be of help. Most of us will not tell you unless you ask, because we don't always know how you'll react. 7. Being an ally is a title that you earn through action, not by association.

Can we move away from caste to create a more equitable society? How do we understand racism by looking at caste and class?    Pull up a seat and join us for a special roundtable episode with the Lagralane Team.    Using the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson as a source of exploration, we help define what caste is, and discuss how race has become the basis of our caste system in the United States. We also talk about how caste affects each of us personally – and what we can do to bring about meaningful change.    Through the lens of our multi-ethnic and multi-generational Lagralane Team, we seek to answer the question: can we move away from caste to create a more equitable society?   How can we be the guardians of truth?   Our team has a myriad of perspectives rooted in being adopted, Black, Asian, White, mixed-race, male, female, fluid and beyond … we are representative of America and we have also lived the experiences presented in Caste. We know first-hand that we're all living in a time of discontent created by generations before us. While sipping The Comeuppance cocktail, knowing the task before us is huge, we also ask how can we make change? How can we live today so that healing can begin for so many? How do we share the task of being guardians of truth?    For more spirited discussions, make sure to subscribe to the podcast.

The “Model Minority Myth,” is an identity rooted in stereotypes that assumes Asian American children are academically inclined by nature, perfect/polite in various environments/skill sets, and will pursue careers in the S.T.E.M. field. What is the problem with the Model Minority Myth? Some may be confused... isn't the idea of being disciplined, polite, and intelligent a good thing? Well, like many stereotypes, this erases the diverse identities, intersectionalities, and experiences within a group of people. This myth emphasizes the, “pull yourself up by the bootstraps ideal,” which can also erase the systemic advantages and disadvantages that play a part in one's own success.This week, join Bri as she dissects the outdated and problematic "myth" with Charlotte Nguyễn, a spiritual & transformational coach, speaker, activist and the pint-sized daughter of Vietnamese refugees.Bri Hall SocialsInstagram @BriHallOfficialCount to Ten Instagram @counttotenpodcastTwitter @BriHallOfficialTiktok @iAmBriHallYouTube @ Bri HallCharlotte Nguyễn SocialsInstagram @lotusinaseaoffireFacebook @ Get Free MeditationGet your free meditation with Charlotte: themindfulrevolutionsummit.com/guided-meditation/Website: www.getfreewithcharlotte.com

They also include an interview with Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk. We talked about what it feels like to be writing about Korean content while it is so popular. Because Regina works for Netflix, we talked about distribution, algorithms, and access to the latest Korean dramas. From there, we look at what constitutes a Korean drama and whether there are any that people might be sleeping on. After that, it was K-pop, NFTs, and metaverses; what was her track of the year; and why are idol groups more popular internationally than acts like IU or AKMU. Finally, we looked at her work on anti-Asian racism. Her pieces on this struck a chord with many, suggesting that if one is to stan Korean content, there is also a responsibility to stand up against anti-Asian behavior.

Whether you're an ally ready to take action or a black person with a bunch of ally-related questions, this podcast will draw a clear path for you to follow towards true anti-racism. Kamala is back at the mic, sooner than anticipated, to do her part in helping us have the conversations we need in order to advance racial justice. “Enough is enough!” and #StopAsianHate. To be clear- what is happening to Asians and Asian-American people in our country right now is not okay. While this podcast centered stories around Black experiences and anti-Blackness specifically, the goal is anti-racism and effective allyship and that applies to ALL of us. This is a goal that is truly universal because White supremacy attacks all people of color for the purpose of advancing and elevating Whiteness, period.  To share the mic and have a discussion, she  invited some really extraordinary guests. First up is Marla Teyolia, a first generation Mexican woman who is the CEO and Founder of Culture Shift Agency. Next is Kim Trin, her friend and former colleague, who is the embodiment of a co-conspirator and a practitioner of cross-racial solidarity and advocacy. Finally, we are beyond privileged to have Dr. Jennifer Ho, the daughter of a refugee father from China and an immigrant mother from Jamaica; she is the director of the Center for Humanities & the Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she also holds an appointment as Professor of Ethnic Studies.
