What began has siniphobic remarks to scapegoat the source of the covid-19 virus from the former President of the United States of America; soon turned into a call for open season on America's Asian citizens. On today's episode we question if America can finally reckon with the sins of its forefathers. We talk to Dr. Ginger Jacobson, host of the Squeezin' Lemons Podcast, to discuss the rise in hate crimes against the Asian community; and the intersectionality of race and gender.
Today's episode is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the horrendous terrorist attack Tuesday, March 16, in Atlanta, Georgia. We at Vulgar Geniuses condemn this hate crime. We stand alongside our brothers and sisters in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in this never-ending battle.
