Greetings from our USB microphones!\\xa0\\xa0

In this episode, we discuss ICE\\u2019s recent rule prohibiting international students from staying in the U.S. if their colleges go fully online. We also dig into questions of cross-race solidarity in the Black Lives Matter movement, especially regarding Latinx/brown communities. Finally, we answer our first sampling of listener questions.\\xa0

5:09 \\u2013 How would the ICE crackdown on international students work? Who is the real target (psst China), and what are the broader economic implications for universities and college towns? (i.e., Whither Stonybrook, NY\\u2019s glorious Chinese food?)\\xa0\\xa0

28:22 \\u2013 Jennifer Medina wrote a provocative story in the New York Times on Latinx participation in the BLM movement and questions of fit: \\u201cLatinos Back Black Lives Matter Protests. They Want Change for Themselves, Too.\\u201d Can a focused movement be inclusive? How do we stand up for one another? Do we need to complicate the Black-white paradigm of race in America?

53:39 \\u2013 We attempt to answer very smart questions about our episode on tankie-ism and alternatives to American and Chinese imperialism, how we should actually address anti-black racism in the Asian diaspora (see our post from a few weeks ago), and what a rewriting of Asian-American history (from Chinese Exclusion to Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, and Vincent Chin) might entail. Thanks to listeners Carlo, Michelle, Chung-chieh, and Sam for their questions. And apols to everyone whose messages we didn\\u2019t get to tackle.
