Bullying in Disguise:Understanding How Microaggressions Impact Asian Americans & Our Youth

Asian American Federation

PANEL INVITE:

 Bullying in Disguise:Understanding How Microaggressions Impact Asian Americans & Our Youth 

Tuesday, October 27th, 2015 6-8 PM  //  Venue TBD

Where are you really from?"

"You speak good English."

"Go back to your country!"

Today, Asian Americans are more often subject to racial microaggressions than the outright violence of the 1980s and 1990s. These subtle forms of discrimination are far from harmless; they can negatively impact mental health. From students to working-age professionals, Asian Americans experience treatment that remind them they are “perpetual foreigners” – a perception that can also shape their academic and professional careers.
