(WXYZ) â If you ve been watching the news lately you ve no doubt seen incident after incident where people of Asian descent have been viciously attacked.
Yes, it was long ago, but yes, I did win in 2017.
After the fatal shootings in Atlanta on March 16th, where six out of the eight dead were Asian women, the National Association of Asian American Professionals Wichita chapter immediately issued a statement. What were you hearing from within the Asian community?
We really, honestly, we re not hearing much from the older generations. It took me having to go out and ask various business owners and my family members, where are you at with what s happening around the nation? And that s when I found out my grandpa and some other family members are adjusting their daily routines with the news of the uptick in the rise of Asian hate crimes and Asian discrimination.

Racism against Asian Americans has been prolific since Asian workers began immigrating into the U.S. in the mid-1800s. Even before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and long before Japanese internment during WWII, the concept of Yellow Peril was born, which existed as sort of a catchall for the threats that white America felt as Eastern Asian immigrants started coming here to work in large numbers. Particularly, the white American working class was afraid they would be put out of work by Chinese immigrants who were willing to work for less.
Yellow Peril is a term I learned last summer. I saw it at a protest against police brutality, written in big black letters on a red poster board: Yellow Peril supports Black Power. I had no idea what the term meant at the time, but I felt like I understood it within the context of the situation. The sign was really just talking about solidarity between victims of white supremacy.
