Episode #15 Racism in the Time of Coronavirus

Wednesday, March 25, 2020

Hey. Paola here. In this episode, I share my experience with COVID-19 racism and conversations with Phil Yu (Angry Asian Man, They Call Us Bruce) and Devin Cabanilla (Filipino American National Historical Society, Seattle chapter) about the disturbing rise of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia.
