100+ hours of research, rewriting, editing & less sleep than I got in college later… I’ve been back and forth about creating this video at least 20 times over the past 6 months. No joke. This phenomenon was brought to my attention from comments on my Stanford and Harvard videos – they reveal the overall sentiment toward the Asian American community in this country, which was shocking to me. But I’m grateful that this has been brought to my attention because as a result, I’m much more informed. I understand the model minority myth, and I know more Asian American news like how the elderly in our community are being attacked. As a kid, yes I experienced microaggressions, etc., but I didn’t realize that this is a much bigger societal problem. By ignoring discrimination’s existence, we cannot improve. What kind of world do we want our kids to grow up in? What are we teaching our children?
Thank you for being open-minded and listening today. Please let me know if anything I said was inaccurate – I’d love to learn more and keep this valuable discussion going! I haven’t done this much research since college haha. Actually, I don’t think I ever investigated a topic this much before or been so passionate about it. Please comment your thoughts – I’ll respond to EVERY COMMENT!
