Gold Rush Racism with Helen Hong

The Margaret Cho

01-04-2021 • 43 mins

Margaret talks with comedian Helen Hong about the worst lynching in American History: the Chinese Massacre of 1871. They also discuss the misplaced rage that Asian Americans are facing and how the Atlanta Spa Shootings were the culmination of a year of racist dog whistling. Helen recounts a personal story about her own father being targeted for his race at a grocery store.

Donate to the verified GoFundMe pages to support the survivors and victim's families of the Atlanta shootings.
