Ep. 55: Are 2nd-Gen Asians Cursed? (And Why White People Dread Thanksgiving)

Escape From Plan A by Escape From Plan A

Episode notes
Are there benefits to having grown up in a protective Asian enclave? Or is it better to face racial difficulties from a young age to learn how to fight them? Is it better to be a 2nd-gen or 1.5-gen Asian American? With many of the Plan A team members having travelled recently to Asia or Asian-populated parts of America — Teen to China, Jong to Korea, and Oxford to Los Angeles — these 3, along with Jess, discuss the “battle of the generations” among young Asians. Also, they talk about how Thanksgiving might be improved. Intro/Outro Song: "Whispers Wonder (Ruw's Underground Mashup)" by Shingo Nakamura ft. KaNa vs. A.M.R. ft.
