"No, That's the Other Asian." Dealing With Racism on the Job

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

It's happened to all of us: a coworker or source gets you confused with another Asian in the newsroom, who looks nothing like you. It's funny, until you think of it as racial microaggression. It happens often in our everyday life, and it's even more uncomfortable when it involves your coworkers or sources. What can Asian American journalists do when they encounter such tensions on the job, especially in markets that aren't too diverse? How do you handle it productively? (This is an off-the-record session, unless moderators indicate otherwise.)
