Ep. 16 - Rotten Asian American Characters
Sunday Nov 29, 2020
Sunday Nov 29, 2020
The Unverifieds, minus Liza for this episode, talk about the need to write and read more about despicable Asian American characters, and why a lot of Asian American writers seem to shy away from that. Holding up Tony Tulathimutte's novel Private Citizens as a refreshing break from that tendency, Chris and Filip delve deeper into Will and the toxic Asian American male archetype he represents.
