22 | The History of Pandemics and Discrimination w/ Ruyi

From as far back as the Black Plague to as recent as the corona virus, discrimination and scapegoating has ingrained into pandemics. There has been a clear surge of discrimination against Chinese-Americans and hate crimes have skyrocketed. To spread awareness about this surge, I dedicated this podcast to talk about recent events with my fellow Asian-American friends and how they are impacted, as well. Especially during this time of hardship, please be kind to one another and unite as a community instead of hurting each other.'
