#stop asian violence – @fred-erick-frankenstein on Tumblr

I had a lot of thoughts about the shooting that happened in Atlanta and the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in general, so I made a video discussing them.

I talk about why it’s important to acknowledge that this hate crime happened at the intersection of racism and misogyny, the history behind the oversexualization of Asian women in the Western context, the history of Asian exclusion in Canada and the US, the role media plays in encouraging these hate crimes, the ways you can support the Asian and Pacific Islander communities, and more.

Please share to spread awareness.
