This week, in light of the recent terrorist attack in Atlanta that left 6 Asian-American women dead at the hands of a White, Homegrown, American Terrorist, the gals are feeling raw and confused and hurt and decided to have a real conversation about where their heads are at. While this attack happened in Atlanta, the incidents of Asian-Canadian hate attacks are going up in both Vancouver and Toronto. And the gals are scared. Nikki and Kris talk about depictions in the media of Asians, Asian Women, and the historical alienation of Asian people. Nikki talks about the generational suffering of Asian parents to provide for their kids, and Kris talks about the horrors of being a woman, let alone an Asian Woman.
