#57 - Georgia Shootings - a podcast by The May Lee Show

The mass shooting in Georgia that left 8 people dead, 6 of them Asian women, has ripped open painful wounds for the AAPI community. For more than a year, anti-Asian hate has been sweeping across the US like wildfire and the massacre on March 16 was what Asians feared would happen. Three Asian spas were targeted by a 21-year old, white, male shooter who claimed to authorities that he had a "sex addiction" and this was his way of taking away temptations. The shooting has yet to be deemed as a hate crime, which has drawn heavy criticism and outrage from AAPIs as well as other communities. This is only intensifying the feeling that Asians have had for centuries...invisibility. But the Georgia shootings have unlocked countless voices and triggered a tsunami of protests. This episode compiles the week of May's video reaction and commentary starting from the night of the shooting as well as media interviews and panel discussions she took part in. The emotions are raw, but we must share our stories so we are seen, heard and respected. #stopasianhate
