The United States’ long history of bigotry against Asian American women has made us more vulnerable to gender-based violence and sexualized racism. These first-generation Korean American women I interviewed were working in service and beauty industries owned by local Asian Americans. Likewise, the six Asian American women killed in Atlanta were not hypersexualized objects responsible for the suspect’s “sexual temptation.” They were hard-working women who worked to provide the best for their families. However, I soon realized that I was going through the process of becoming a minority, transforming from Korean into Korean American. Second, we need to recognize that the rise in anti-Asian attacks hurts many Asian American businesses in our community.
