9/27/2023
This week in Asian American news:
We cover a NYTimes article that profiling some young Asian Americans in Chinatown. Aaron, an organizer in that same Chinatown, has some thoughts.
One of the country’s oldest unions, United Auto Workers, goes on strike! They get the big 3 manufacturers play whack-a-mole with the plants and boy do GM, Ford, and Stellantis miss every mole.
A new Pew study finds that among Asian Americans, those who are young, 2nd gen, and…Democrat? are more likely to hide their culture and identity. We try to figure out why peopl are still coming up with studies like this.
The New Yorker drops a bombshell of an interview with Hasan Minhaj that has the internet in an uproar: the man exaggerates in his stand-up! As comedians, we discuss the ethics of lying in one’s jokes.

93. This Week in Asian American Politics: Japan Releases Radioactive Water into Ocean, the Republican Primary Debate, NY Dept. of Labor is SO Behind on Stolen Wages, Asian Glow? Cancer Says Hello
8/30/2023
This week in Asian American Politics!
Japan plans to release treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster. Japanese officials say the radioactivity is “negligible,” which is like your waiter saying they got “most” of the bugs out of your salad.
Our favorite circus was in town last week: the Republican primary debate! We discuss the performance of some of the candidates and who DEFINITELY did debate club in high school.
The NY Department of Labor has failed to recover $79 million in stolen wages. It’d be nice if we could get away with not doing 63% of our jobs.
And lastly, if you turn red when you drink alcohol, you’re 40-80% more likely to develop certain cancers. It’s like we’re human traffic lights, and our bodies are telling us to stop lol.

92. This Week in Asian American Politics: Changing Races to Asian through Lofi Music, Nikki Haley & Vivek, Viral Copwatchers on Youtube, Jollibee Wage Theft, Twitter Loses Advertisers and Sues CCDH
8/16/2023
This week in Asian American news:
We dive into the world of people who think they can change their race, specifically to Asian. And they believe listening to certain Youtube videos can help. Has Lo-fi Hip Hop Anime Chill Beats to Study and Relax To gone too far?
Two Indian Americans, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, are running for President. We discuss how they handle the whole “running as a brown person when your party hates brown people” thing.
While most of us can agree influencers are kinda annoying and usually when you hear about YouTubers, it’s giving some kind of apology, we learn about the world of cop-watchers or “auditors” and how they’ve held police departments accountable. Praxis!
Jollibee in NJ is not so jolly after allegedly firing workers who asked for better working conditions. Those better working conditions? A mere $3/wage increase.
Champion of free speech, Elon Musk, sues a non-profit for posting facts about how hate speech is up 200% on Twitter since he took over the platform.

91. This Week in Asian American Politics: 70th Anniversary of Korean War, Challenges to Legacy Admissions Part 2, Florida "Both-Sides" Slavery, Netflix Looks For AI Product Managers to Exploit Actors
8/2/2023
This week in Asian American politics,
Many Americans don’t know that the Korean War is still ongoing. On the 70th anniversary of the war, advocates push for a formal end, which seems like a fantastic birthday present.
With the death of Affirmative Action, many now turn their attention to legacy admissions. The Education Department has opened a civil rights inquiry into Harvard’s, positing the question: what will happen to all the Asians that DID make it in?
Speaking of education, Florida passed some new standards to teach Black History, but skipped over consulting a literal volunteer force of Black educators, which probably explains why the standards say “[enslaved people] developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
And last, as the WGA/SAG strikes wage on against AI, Netflix posts a product manager role for AI and machine learning with a salary band of $300-900k. We lay out an argument for why you probably shouldn’t apply for this.

90. This Week in Asian American Politics: Asian Am. Tech Worker Sues for $20 Mil, Voter Restriction Laws Affecting Asians, Hindu Nationalism in USA, Chinese Scientists Leave America, Writer's Strike!
7/19/2023
ANNOUNCEMENT: We’ll be moving to a bi-weekly cadence in regards to episodes because life has gotten very busy and we want to make sure that we keep this sustainable for us. THANKS!
This week in Asian American news:
An Asian guy sues his company for discrimination after they fire him despite his 22 years working there and developing a $1 billion product. He claims they banned speaking Mandarin and made rice jokes.
Republicans get creative with laws to target people who assist others in voting. Asian Americans who help grandpa read a ballot or hand an aunty some water can now fear a fine as big as $50,000.
Hindu nationalism isn’t on the rise in just India, it’s also on the rise in the United States. We discuss the parallels between Hindu nationalism and Christian nationalism.
Chinese scientists are fleeing America thanks to the fallout from the China Initiative, an effort that sought to “weed out” (non-existent) Chinese spies. Relatedly, China overtook the US in most-cited publications. Hm.
And lastly, Hollywood execs say they hope to wait out writers until they lose apartments and houses. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA announced actors are now on strike with the WGA, the first strike together since 1960.

88. This Week in Asian American Politics: Modi Visits the White House, Profiles on the Typical Japanese Millennial, the Titanic Submersible, the Lack of Vietnamese News Videos, Asians & ADHD Diagnoses
6/28/2023
This week in Asian American news,
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the United States, hosted by President Joe Biden. (Possibly) on the discussion agenda: the human rights violations!
Business Insider interviewed multiple millennials in Japan about the state of their lives, from finances to outlooks on marriage. We compare to our own and reflect.
Of course, we have to talk about the guillotine ride disguised as a submarine and watch how the Titanic continues to add to its body count despite being a sunken ship.
The community out in Oakland discusses the need for more news sources in Vietnamese. Grandma just wants local news, not propaganda, thanks!
It’s one of Gerrie’s favorite topics: ADHD. We talk about underdiagnosis in Asian Americans, metrics for diagnosis, and more.

5/30/2023
This week in Asian American politics:
Uber’s Asian American head of diversity hosts a panel called “Don’t Call Me Karen.” Wh*te supremacy? In my APAHM? It’s more likely than you think.
Taiwan’s last comfort woman dies at 92. We discuss the history of comfort women and why a lot of Asian countries hate Japan.
Apparently, Asian Americans think a lot about dying, more so with COVID and racism, but don’t do anything to plan for that? It gets a little existential in here.
A white model posts a TikTok about how her undocumented, Filipino nanny gets to return to the Philippines for the first time in 30 years to see her actual kids. What could possibly go wrong?

81. This Week in Asian American Politics: The Philippines Gives 4 More Bases to the US, US Debt Ceiling (we are poor), the Writers Guild of America strike, Tou Thou convicted in George Floyd case
5/9/2023
This week in Asian American politics:
The United States wants to add more military bases in the Philippines as the relationship with China deteriorates. It’d be like if you got your friends to follow your current partner on social media because you’re about to break up with them and you’d like to block. Except instead of social media, it’s military bases. Also your friends are the offspring of a former dictator.
Do you have a bad credit score? Maybe your credit card bill is kinda lengthy? You’re not alone—so does the United States! Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns that the government needs to figure out if we’re going to raise our own credit limit or just default on our national Amex.
We discuss the Writers Guild Association’s (WGA) strike. It’s the first one in 15 years or 2007. Roughly 11,500 writers across the industry have put down their pens and picked up picket signs. What are their demands? How will this affect you? And what’s different this time?

80. This Week in Asian American Politics: Biden's Re-election Announcement, Asian American landlord movement, Climate Change in Asia, and Streaming's AAPI Representation
5/2/2023
This week in Asian American politics:
Biden announced he is running for re-election despite an NBCNews study that says 7 in 10 Americans don’t want him to do that. Biden cites the Big Bad Orange as good enough reason to run again as the oldest president America has ever had, begging the question, when will the evil be defeated?
We discuss an article from a conservative publication about Asian American landlords and how weirdly a bunch of people our age want to be landlords? The article cries rivers about who will stick up for the little guy small business landlords, as if we all don’t know that it’s giant corporation landlords that these regulations are about
Asia is hit with a “monster” heatwave—we’re talking about climate impacts across India, Pakistan, China, and the Philippines. While the US is running in circles about debating whether climate change is real, the climate catastrophe is already impacting parts of Asia that don’t have the infrastructure to protect the people.

WHAT'S POLITICALLY ASIAN PODCAST?
Two Asians talking about politics and the Asian American community to get more Asians talking about politics! Join comedians Aaron Yin (he/him) and Gerrie Lim (they/them) for 45 minutes-ish each week as they discuss current topics and events related to Asian Americans through the lenses of history, class, and advocacy. Think John Oliver's show, but there's two of us, and we're Asian.
