"Asian American" is an intentionally broad term meant to build solidarity between marginalized groups. But what are the limits of grouping such a wide range of cultures under one umbrella? In this episode, learn how the typical definitions and expectations of Asian Americans can leave South Asians, such as Indians and Pakistanis, out of the narrative. You'll first hear from sociologist Dr. Bhoomi Thakore how the limited and negative depictions of South Asians in the media reinforce real-world prejudices and stereotypes. Then, culture critic Anisa Khalifa shares her personal experience of building up her Asian American identity as a Brown, Muslim woman.
