In one scene from the Lifetime TV movie, âA Sugar & Spice Holiday,â a co-worker says to Suzy, an Asian American architect in Los Angeles: âI didn t know if Christmas was a big deal where you re from.â
Retorts Suzy: âI m from Maine.
A lot of viewers of a cozy Christmas film might just shrug off the insinuation that Suzy is somehow not American. But for an Asian audience, that brief exchange is a knowing reminder that microaggressions don t take a holiday. They especially haven t in the wake of the pandemic, which has triggered anti-Asian racism and terms like âChinese virusâ and âkung flu.â
