#StopAsianHate is a new blog from Medium chronicling the xenophobia and anti-Asian racism that plagues America. With essays from creatives, leaders, artists, and writers from the AAPI community and beyond, it is a space for readers and thinkers to explore the joys, challenges, and complexities of the Asian American experience. To join the discussion, simply publish an essay on Medium and use the tag StopAsianHate. We'll feature new stories on the blog daily. (Header photo: Yunghi Kim/Contact Press Images @yunghi.kim)
