Brown and Yellow Asians… Who’s “Asian”? (‘Escape From Plan A’ Ep. 86)

A common debate in Asian American spaces, especially online ones, is how inclusive the term “Asian” can be.

If so, how do the noticeable differences in experience get accounted for? Chris (Korean), Sarina (Punjabi), Jay (Tamil), and Quyen (Vietnamese) come together to tackle this intricate topic.
