I remember reading a book in the '70s called Aiiieeeee! An Anthology of Asian-American Writers. The title comes from the typical expression uttered by Asian characters in old TV and radio shows, movies and comic books. Ironically, when the traditional publishing houses turned the book down, the press at historically Black Howard University took up the challenge.

Explained Frank Chin, one of the editors of Aiiieeeee!, “The Blacks were the first to take us seriously and sustained the spirit of many Asian American writers.” Even then, both groups understood that unless every marginalized group was treated equally, no one would be.

 

publishers that gave people like Pilkey and Dr. Seuss a platform and are now back-pedaling on their "passive" racism need to stop apologizing and start giving their profits to the communities they stereotyped and marginalized. until then, Pilkey's apology isn't sincere.
 
PBS is adding the 5 hour film series “Asian Americans” on Youtube and PBS Video app to watch through June 26.
