Episode Notes How should Asian people feel about white people in Asian grocery stores? That’s the question creator Madeline Qi didn’t even mean to ask when she posted her now-viral video, which resulted in call-outs, doxxing, and, ultimately, a conversation too nuanced for TikTok. Writer and comedian Youngmi Mayer attempted to make sense of the discourse on her Substack, which ended up going viral on Instagram. She joined host Kate Lindsay to share what people misunderstand about the controversy, and how her own experience being mixed white and Asian contributes to her perspective.
