As the coronavirus pandemic continues to threaten American lives, another major issue has been racism affecting Asian and African American communities. Such discrimination has been reinforced by poor rhetoric from the media and politicians, especially the president. In a discussion of how Americans can strive to combat these forms of racism and discriminatory behavior overall, I spoke with fellow student David and Professor Richard Weissbourd. Thank you to both David and Professor Weissbourd for helping out!
