Details
Join us at the second annual Hate is a Virus event to continue the conversation of anti-Asian racism affecting our communities both on-campus and off-campus.
Our theme this year will address the media's harmful portrayal of Asian and Pacific Islanders through its use of stereotypes, fetishes, and the lack of authentic cultural stories.
Asian characters on the big screen have portrayed harmful stereotypes for too long and follow us into the real world through racism and violence.
Anti-Asian racism is not new. It's time to normalize this conversation by learning from the experiences of students and faculty, which are rooted in society’s prejudiced pattern of API characters in the media that date back to 1904.
