“Where are you from? No, where are you really from?”
Doesn’t matter if they were born here, fought for this country, or are just trying go about their everyday lives. Members of the AAPI community just keep getting asked this othering question.
For AAPI month, 8 members of the AAPI community come together to bring their truth to this question. Meet Rebecca Hsu, Nishat Akhtar, Hannah Lee Joshi, Meiko Arquillos, Jiaqi Wang, Shxpir, Don Muña, and Shyama Golden. Animated by Marie Hyon/Psyop.
