Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4! We start by talking about Michelle Alyssa Go, the Asian American woman recently killed by being pushed on the subway tracks near Times Square in New York. It’s another tragic death of someone in the Asian Pacific American community. Our main segment is on the impact of Asian Americans in the Fishing and Shrimping Industries. From the Chinese in Monterey to the Vietnamese around the Gulf of Mexico, Asian Americans have had an impact in both fishing and shrimping despite discrimination and hate. We close out with a short segment on the meaning and origin of the phrase, “Chop Chop.” Is it racist? We give our take on it. Have you been the victim of Anti-Asian Hate? We encourage you to report to a group like Stop AAPI Hate. To learn more, please visit our site at https://asianamericanhistory101.libsyn.com or https://linktr.ee/AAHistory101 for social media.
