When Anti-Asian Hate Goes Viral

Last March, six Asian-American women were killed by a gunman in Atlanta. The murders focused the public, as never before, on violence against America’s Asian communities—but a lot of Asian Americans saw this spike in hate crimes coming. In this collaboration with the podcast Self Evident, we look at what happens when we ignore anti-Asian hate—and what happens when we mobilize against it instead. Self Evident co-founder James Boo takes us to New York City at the height of the pandemic and explains how he anticipated the latest wave in hate crimes. Then, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Renee Tajima-Pena takes us to 1980’s Detroit, where anti-Japanese rhetoric fueled another burst of shocking violence.see more

As America's waistline expands, our sex lives get more complicated. At least, that's what journalist Sarah Varney found on her quest to discover how America's growing obesity rate is affecting our love lives. Since two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, how does that affect our relationships in dating and the bedroom? Varney joins Forum to talk about her new book, "XL Love: How the Obesity Crisis is Complicating America's Love Life."

Guests:

Sarah Varney, author of "XL Love: How the Obesity Crisis is Complicating America's Love Life" and senior health policy correspondent with Kaiser Health News
