Andrew Pham and Alice Yu are both members of the Mizzou Asian American Association.
They spoke about the challenges of rallying a historically disconnected Asian American community in the aftermath of recent hate crimes – and about how their generation might be the ones to overcome those challenges.

Alice Yu: We don t have a centralized community. It s more based on ethnic lines, and I think a lot of that ties to the perpetual foreigner myth.
A lot of us are children of immigrants, if we re not immigrants ourselves, and so, there’s not that basis of like, “Oh, we can tie in together the fact that we are all mutually American,” because what comes first is that proximity to our home country. Like, I still have cousins and family in Taiwan, and I feel very close to them.

When It Comes to Asian Markets, There’s No One Size Fits All
When a recipe mentions that a particular ingredient can be found at an Asian market, it triggers my eyebrows to rise as I wonder, “Which kind?”. Whenever I write a recipe and use that same pointer for cooks, I try to offer specifics. It’s easier in books and on this website, where I have space to clarify (e.g., head to a Chinese market for the best doubanjiang selection). However, it’s harder when I freelance for print, in which case there are tight column inches and page space restrictions.
