Vishakha Desai, President of Asia Society, invites us to share our stories about what it means to be Asian American. Having people respond via a video is quite a powerful vehicle. Among others featured in the video, DJ Steve Aoki’s message resounds most strongly: “Our culture is partially invisible to people. I think its important for us to actually voice our opinions and produce and create things that people can be part of."
Incidentally, the Asian American DJ shares he has only been in a couple of fights in his life both of which were racially motivated. The scars of his experience cut deep and as such his call to speak out resonates very strongly.
Great Video. It really sums up what you are saying
