#095- Lee Wong: Is This Patriotic Enough? The Story Behind Viral Video Combating Asian Discrimination

  1. #095- Lee Wong: Is This Patriotic Enough? The Story Behind Viral Video Combating Asian Discrimination Jackson Huff 47:12

This week I have an extremely powerful conversation with Lee Wong about the discrimination that people in the Asian community faces both currently and in the past in America. Mr. Wong shares the story of how he was filmed speaking about this very issue at a West Chester, Ohio trustee meeting where he voiced his unhappiness of people questioning his patriotism because he looks or speaks differently than them. What people at this meeting did not know was that he is an US Army veteran and revealed the scars on his chest to prove it. It was a thought provoking speech and one that went viral. You will not want to miss this one!

I am in admissions and advising by profession where I speak with students every day about their future and goals. I have spent a decade learning peoples life stories and what makes them tick. So, a few years ago I decided to take that passion for people and make a podcast. Through this I have been able to speak with a lot of amazing people. People like Bob Eubanks (The Newlywed Game), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Maddie Musselman (2x Olympic Gold Medalist), Francois Clemmons (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), and countless others.
