Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crust podcast.
I'm Jisoo.
I'm Crystal.
And I'm Gina.
So, Gina is a good friend of mine who has actually been on this podcast before, but she's also a friend who has been outspoken about the treatment of women, the treatment of POC, and it's just systemic injustices in general for a very long time.
We wanted to bring her on today to talk about how we have personally processed the Atlanta shooting, where a white man committed a series of shootings that killed eight people, six of them asian women.
Yeah.
It was such a tragic and also infuriating event because the Atlanta police Department refused to call it a racially motivated crime and instead just said that the shooter was having a bad day, which it's just like, hearing that and, like, seeing the news.
I'm sure so many other people, a lot of my friends as well, were just like, what?
Like, what the fuck?
It was just so, like, horrific.
And that event also just sparked a lot of emotion, especially in asian women like ourselves.
I mean, I myself was starting to feel this whole, like, extra layer of.
There's a lot of times when we're on the streets and we don't feel safe because we're a woman, but now there's a whole extra layer of, like, oh, we're asian, too.
Great.
We're even more unsafe now.
And it was just really hard to process and a lot of stuff to think about.
Yeah, definitely.
I think what really struck me about this crime was, anytime someone dies, it's, you know, truly awful.
