Tria Wen writes this article as a follow-up to a piece written in 2018 called, “Is There Such a Thing as Asian Privilege?” That piece talked about the concept of Asian privilege, focusing on statistics to illustrate the disparity among Asian communities, disproving the parallelism between “Asian privilege” and white privilege.
