For Immigrants Watching a Mob Storm the Capitol, a Sense of Shock and Shame (Published 2021)

Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the country. Virginia wouldn’t be solidly blue without AAPI voters. States with fast growing AAPI populations like AZ and GA are battlegrounds instead of solidly red. This is a wildly ignored voting bloc - it shouldn’t be. – at Delaware, USA

Are Asian Americans the Last Undecided Voters?

The political interests of such a diverse population can be hard to target, but several groups think they’ve found a way.

In Brooklyn, Wu Yi Zhuo has used his trusty gaohu to serenade subway platforms with Cantonese opera music for years. He pours the money he earns playing solo into his musical group and brings a bit of Guangdong Province to Bensonhurst. #NationalImmigrantsDay
