asian to represent us asian people that asians can be superheroes. >> it feels like we're actually in the movie. >> one of my favorite movies is a movie called "the black panther." it made me feel i saw a superhero in me. i see them as sort of being friends with each other. representation is ever evolving. while you could technically say they're both some form of representation when they debuted in marvel comics, they were both created by white folks who didn't seem to have a lot of interest in awe then testimony and sometimes just came off as racist. since then these characters have both been taken over by asian american and black creators, creators who are able to imbue these characters with authenticity that rings true to

the audiences they are portraying. >> there's been stories because some people have been mad at asian people about covid. have you heard about this? >> asian hate. when covid started, used to like harm asian people because they think they started it even though they actually didn't. >> how does it make you all feel when you hear these stories? >> american people don't understand how it feels because they've never been through it. >> i heard about something feels like an old person that was asian like some people were like hitting her. like it makes me feel like i'm also going to be attacked because of it. >> oh, no, i'm sorry. >> it's like if that happens, we're going to feel scared. >> of course. so what can we do? how can we change this? i don't want asian people to be scared to walk around. >> sometimes standing up for yourself sometimes makes the situation worse. >> what if i stand up with you all? does that help? >> yeah. >> yeah.

>> what if me and my friends stand up with you all? it's just that simple. while it's important for us to focus on our own communities, it also really helps if we all stand up for each other. >> you hear a lot about people saying they want to be allies, right? people are like how do you do this work? you just have to be in community with people, right? learn your history, you know. invest in learning about someone else's history. just connecting to people as humans is the first step. >> i would love to see a world where there's so much diversity of story telling that represent me and people i care about, we don't have to be ashamed around the things that actually are who we are. >> it's all about giving us the room to breathe and letting us be the great mass that we are. >> never feels like enough because it's not and if we are doing the right thing with the most thoughtful and inclusive
