On Asian America: Sex, gender and the exotic other May 20, 2021
From dragon ladies to geeky sidekicks, being Asian in America comes with complicated and contradictory expectations.
Over 6,600 incidents of anti-Asian assaults have occurred in the last year, with over 2,800 of those incidents reported in March 2021 aloneâa 164% increase over the same period last year. However, discrimination against people of Asian descent living in the U.S. is nothing new.
