The Talkative Laotian by Myla Athitang and Ally Phouangkeo

Episode notes

In today's episode, we discussed the political diaspora of Laotian Americans and how it ties into the current agriculture crisis in the U.S. today. Asian Americans, often seen as a monolith. However, within the Asian American population, a vast variety of different ethnic groups hold their own cultures and beliefs. Smaller Asian minority groups or ethnic groups often miss the spotlight in discussions about the American political landscape. However, these minority groups can be the most diverse politically and culturally, leaving most of their history to be passed down orally. As Americans, it is our responsibility to further discussion in order to pave the way for younger generations.
