Taiwanese Diaspora Podcast

(episode is in English)  Honored to share this conversation with Jeff Tseng, centered around a post he wrote on social media (quoted below) in reaction to the recent spike in violence against Asians in the US. We discuss racism in the workplace and dating worlds, and reflect on how writing is a great way to process thoughts and feelings.  Favorite lines from our convo: "We wear our Asian-ness externally. There's no escaping it. People will assign it to you regardless -- it's the snap judgement that everyone makes." "Be a voice in conversations. Amplify other voices that you find to ring true in your mind and your heart." . Jeff's post:  "My father used to make us use an alias when joining the waitlist at restaurants. “If they see our names are Chinese, they will make us wait longer.” I suppose we’ll never know if the host stand at the Cheesecake Factory in White Flint Mall indeed had a racial bias issue, but my father’s paranoia showed me the precariously thin line Asian Americans walk on
