As part of our ongoing commitment to racial equity, inclusion, and diversity, we are thrilled to host Professor Erika Lee for a #TwitterTogetherTalk on #StopAsianHate in conversation with our Head of Product, Kayvon Beykpour. We’ll share insights and resources below. 
First, we asked @prof_erikalee how anti-Asian racism and violence has shown up historically.
Professor Lee: What most people don’t know, and it’s not in the textbooks, is there a vicious history of anti-Asian violence, beyond microaggressions in the United States. 👇🏾

Where does this racism and hate stem from?
Our country was founded as a country of slavery and colonialism. Racism directed at Asian Americans is rooted and intersects with the ways our country has treated African Americans and Native Americans as racially inferior.
