PBS makes 'Asian Americans' doc free to stream after Atlanta shootings
In light of the Atlanta shootings of March 16 and general spike in violence against Asian Americans, PBS has made the docuseries Asian Americans temporarily free to stream.
The series looks at the past 150 years of U.S. history through the lens of this country's Asian American and Pacific Islander immigrants — a group that faced violence and prejudice long before 2021.
On March 16, a gunman shot and killed eight people at various Atlanta spas, six of whom were Asian women: Xiaojie Tan, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park, Hyun Jung Grant, Suncha Kim, and Yong Ae Yue. Targeting specific victims based on race and gender qualifies as a hate crime under Georgia law, but investigators have yet to charge the shooter.
Violence and hate speech against Asians and Asian Americans have increased sharply since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, not least because Donald Trump deliberately mislabeled the virus again and again in order to blame China. The PBS documentary illuminates a long history of the United States marginalizing and othering this demographic — alongside its consistent mistreatment of Native Americans, Black people, and anyone else who doesn't look like the first 43 presidents.
Asian Americans is now streaming on PBS. You can find all five episodes right here.
The Atlanta shootings were not Asian hate. It was a sick individual with hate for himself in his heart.
ReplyDeleteYes because we believe criminals these days. Especially from a police officer who has more empathy for the murderer than the victims.
DeleteSo if a Asian guy goes and shoot up country bars only because usually only white people go there. Killed a bunch of white people. And a few Asian. It's not racist, and he can blame it on the alcohol controlling his life?
DeleteI mean he can go to any bar but he chose country bars only
DeleteThis person had a sex addiction and was targeting massage parlors. It just so happened that they were owned by Asians.
DeleteLike I said when did we start believing criminals? He could of went after hookers , nude bars , or go after porn producer's.
DeleteAnd you're not listening to my other comments
He went after specifically Asian massage parlor.
DeleteChina is the source

This would be really, really, relevent today if this aired in 2021.
ReplyDeleteWhen people say Asian Americans they usually mean the East Asian ones while usually avoiding the other Asians
ReplyDeleteIn the U.K. It is opposite. When you say Asians, that means South Asia
DeleteHow can we watch it now? It’s not available on the link anymore?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question. Only Part 2 and 3 are available on PBS now..
DeleteIs that Pres. Corazon Aquino? 0:57
ReplyDeleteAnyone know where we can watch it now?
ReplyDeleteAmazon prime :)
DeleteWatch it it’s really worth it!
Bruh its gone. XD They removed it on pbs lmao.
ReplyDeletethat's ok, we will still do our best,
Deletemy mom told me to say that
Why did they remove it after it was only on the pbs website for a short time? Not even a month yet. This should be one of those videos that stays on for a long time because it’s THAT important or else why make it at all if only a few are able to view it?
ReplyDeleteI believe the documentary is available to watch Amazon Prime and on YouTube TV.
DeleteI did not know that
