Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Seeing APIDA folks as “foreigners” or “outsiders” allows white supremacy to exploit and oppress them. Throughout history and even today, APIDA people have been the victims of scapegoating-they have been blamed for economic insecurity, for national insecurity, for public health crises, and more. The root causes of anti-Asian hate are related to yellow peril, the perpetual foreigner stereotype, the model minority theory, exoticized stereotypes, lack of representation, etc. Their homes and businesses have been vandalized and/or collapsed. APIDA people have been pushed, beaten, kicked, spit on, called slurs, etc. Research from Stop AAPI Hate (AAPI Asian American Pacific Islander) suggests that APIDA people are more scared of anti-Asian hate than of COVID-19. Not only are such comments inaccurate, but they are also racist, causing unconscious or conscious biases. This recent escalation of anti-Asian hate can be traced back to comments referring to COVID-19 as the “China Virus” and “Kung Flu”.
