The C. O. W. S. w/ Dr. Cary Wu: White Supremacy/Racism & Covid-19 #ItComesFromChina

The Context of White Supremacy #TheCOWS14 welcomes Dr. Cary Wu. A sociology professor at York University in Canada, Dr. Wu is a non-white scholar who explores health, politics, and “Race & Ethnicity.” Gus suspects Dr. Wu may have been born some place other than North America, but we’ll be sure to ask. Gus found Dr. Wu’s report, “Anti-Asian discrimination and the Asian-white mental health gap during COVID-19,” most interesting. Dr. Wu investigates how being blamed for the pandemic and the daily Racist insults aimed at so-called asians had an immediate and widespread impact on their mental health. We’ll discuss the nuance of his findings - which include that foreign born asians showed better mental health results than both White people and asians born in North America. During the exchange, Dr. Wu talked about the research showing that all non-white people report better mental health and confidence than people classified as White. Gus is wonders if this is true, and if so, why this is the case. We’ll ask Dr. Wu for his definition of Racism and for perspective on the recent balloon controversy where non-white people in China were accused of espionage. #YellowPeril #TheCOWS14 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
