On March 17, 2021, a lone gunman in Atlanta, Georgia went on a racially-motivated rampage, resulting in the death of eight people, 6 of whom were women of Asian descent. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we talk about: 

  • Historical examples of hate crimes and discrimination against the Asian community;
  • The origins of the "Model Minority" Myth and its intersectionality with anti-Black racism;
  • Xenophobia in the broader context of the pandemic; and
  • How COVID-19 has fueled anti-Asian racist sentiments.
