Is "Asian American" Relevant Anymore?

We're back! Welcome to Season 2.

Jen & Yonsoo discuss whether it's time to retire "Asian American" as a useful label. Milan offers a Pacific Islander's perspective on "APIA solidarity"(4:47) and gives a hot take on non-Hawaiians using "Hapa" (12:44). Prof. Tanglao-Aguas takes us on a deep dive into the political roots behind the label "Asian American" (21:11). A recording of the late Hawaiian activist, Haunani Kay-Trask, still remains relevant & supports Milan's views of Asian political & material power on the Hawaiian islands (46:41). 

Guests: Milan Burke & Professor Francis Tanglao-Aguas of the College of William & Mary and founder of Aguas Arts Ink.
