Need more articles on anti-Asian racism, violence & discrimination
Given the spate of anti-Asian racism, violence and hate crimes including yesterday’s murders in Atlanta, I'd like to see more media coverage on this issue. These problems need to be highlighted and addressed now.
In media and entertainment, Asians are not depicted favorably nor as real people. Instead, they are often marginalized and ignored. Compared to the preferential coverage to Blacks, the discrimination and crime experienced by Asians is viewed as insignificant or nonexistent. It’s time that advertisers, businesses and the media take Asians seriously and as a major, influential demographic. So far, it seems that Blacks are the only minority given this attention.
Asians need real legislative help and police protection, too. It can start with greater, more compassionate media coverage toward Asians.
Thank you.
