Being Chinese Asian American right now, I've heard stories from all my Asian friends about how people look at them suspiciously now, they're, we're afraid to go outside. My friend just told me her dad was going to a bakery one day late March when someone kicked his leg down.. 2/
...told him he, a Chinese American man, was the cause of #COVID19. Limping, my friend's dad had to run into the bakery to hide from this man, call my friend who finally called 911 from miles away, 30 minutes after the incident, and the guy had run off already. 3/
Love this Filipino/a-Chicano/a connection in the farmworkers’ strike in California. And important to learn about the prominent role of the Filipino labor movement in a mvmt many of us associate solely w/Mexican-Americans. #AsianAmPBS
This segment on Asian Americans who enlisted in the army and were sent to Vietnam is painful. #AsianAmPBS
If you don’t know about Asian immigrant Exclusion Acts you cannot understand immigration or how 19th & 20the century America was constructed. #AsianAmPBS

Interesting to start @PBS #AsianAmericans w/ the St. Louis World Fair, how the US announces its arrival as an imperialist power, its takeover of the Philippines as a colony, & the white savior complex towards brown people! Rolling w/ this!
