Abstract
This presentation will focus on the different ways that racism plays into everyday interactions. It will specifically show how it affects the Asian American culture. From what we say, to the way we say it, to even what we don't say, our lives, opinions and actions have all been shaped by some form of racism. This session will help to pinpoint certain types of "accepted" racism against Asian Americans and will help bring them to a forefront in your mind. Different forms of media will be analyzed to see how they contribute to society's views of what types of racism can be deemed as acceptable.
