S2E19 - Two Kens: Asian Bodies at Risk

The Two Kens come together again to talk about the increase of violence against Asian Americans as the battle against Covid rages. You'll hear from Author Activist Helen Zia and Sharon Kwan, Ken Fong's podcast guest, a licensed clinical therapist whose article on the subject recently went viral. They delve into the Trumpist vitriol, the history of violence against Asians in America, the complications of "ambiguity" about origins and the history of conflict among Asian people groups, the problem of the "perpetual foreigner" and an in-depth look at the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Doolittle Raid of 1943.
