Bear with me in this column because I’m angry and I’d like to make a reasoned argument that the game industry can do something about the cause of the moment — #StopAsianHate. Moments like these are opportunities because someone is probably listening.
It has always been easy to pick on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders because we are such a small part of the U.S. population. Haters can think of us as “others,” or people who are out of sight, not well understood, easily stereotyped, and less than fully human. (For more on that last claim, check out the book War Without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War by John Dower.)
