Racism against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders can be difficult to explain and challenging to get others to take seriously. However, those on the receiving end can feel regret or frustration for not knowing how to respond in the moment. This year, during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we’re seeing escalating anti-Asian violence, but we’re also having conversations about how to find pride in being Asian American, to build community, to learn from our history and to learn from each other. AdvertisementSo we want to illustrate how people actually respond in the moment to microaggressions — things that work, things that don’t, things that you wish you had done a little differently. We know you’ve experienced them, so tell us about your strategies for countering microaggressions, and we’ll publish the best advice.
