Lent some of my analysis on race and anti-Asian racism that Filipino health care workers face as they serve on the frontlines.

This story skims the surface. The past administration has contributed to a more general anti-Asian xenophobia and racism but the reverberations can be felt in so many spaces. As we observe in the uptick of hate crimes against Asian Americans in neighborhoods and the different publics, the dangers of these racist and prejudicial ideas hurts the very people trying to keep COVID-19 patients alive.
