E10: ... 快乐 (... Kuai Le / ... Happy) 🥟🎆🧧🏮🎉

Before we begin,  恭喜发财   群节快乐！ This episode is mostly an anthology of some of the semi amusing racial microaggressions that we have encountered as East Asian women. This is not to diminish the racism we face. In fact, making light of these stories is how we cope with how traumatizing it is to be conditioned to accept racist behavior. Our experiences are also not representative of the experiences of all Asian people in America. We are acutely aware that people in the Asian community suffer from structural violence, not just microaggressions. But it’s lunar new year! So if you want ~real talk~, check out our previous episode on the recent spike in anti asian hate crimes. This one’s for our own catharsis.
