Discrimination against East Asians has increased dramatically since the outbreak of Covid-19, spurring the community to action. Louise Rasmussen talked to Kevin Groen, one of the main speakers at the most recent #StopAsianHate event in Amsterdam.
By trade, he helps companies create more inclusive work environments and he is also on the board of Omroep PAC, a pan Asian collective that aims to increase and change the representation of Asian people in the Dutch media. But it is his experiences as a child, says Kevin Groen, that have been his main motivation.
