Back to EpisodesWhen They Come for Us: Dr. Russell Jeung on Being Asian in America Today
Description
Dr. Russell Jeung is a sociologist, Christian, and co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate. In this powerful conversation, Russell joins Jessica Ho to talk about what it means to be Asian American in a time of rising hate, surveillance, and silence. As a longtime professor at San Francisco State University, just steps from the Sunset District, Dr. Jeung shares how pandemic-era scapegoating evolved into broader anti-immigrant policies impacting researchers, families, and students.
From ICE raids to the fear of being disappeared, this episode is a call to empathy, courage, and storytelling - and a reminder that even if it doesn't feel personal, it is.
