Why Asian Americans Should Give A Shit About The Techlash — ft. Jimmy Wu and R.K. Upadhya (‘Escape From Plan A‘ Ep. 128)

In the third iteration of the Plan A tech series (prior episodes here and here), Filip talks to guests RK and Jimmy about the surge in activism and labour activism in the tech sector in the past few years. They tackle the question of where Asian Americans fit in amongst the tech-lash, and why we should care, beyond just the fact that we’re highly represented in this world-affecting industry.
