The 7-year-old Korean American girl is slated to debut Thanksgiving Day as part of a special titled “See Us Coming Together.” Like many Asian Americans, her identity will straddle two cultures, says Alan Muraoka, who plays the owner of Hooper’s Store on the show and is also Asian American.
The moment serves as an entryway into discussions around anti-Asian racism, as the show provides a viewing guide and resources to conduct those conversations, the release said. Muraoka explained that the nationwide racial reckoning, spurred by events like the killing of eight people in Atlanta-area spas, most of them Asian women, and the heightened anti-Asian bias and attacks due to racist Covid-related stereotypes, pushed the show to further address racism and discrimination.
“Your eyes tell the story of your family. They show where you came from, and how you came to be,” they sing in a song together in the episode. “The color, the shape and the size should always make you proud of your eyes.”
What race is Bert and Ernie?

I think that nsp14 is the cause of the sharp decrease in coronavirus in Japan. Therefore, if you bring the Japanese coronavirus with this nsp14 to your country, I think the coronavirus in your country will disappear, just as the coronavirus in Japan disappeared. coronavirus
I love that they didn’t actually make it look Asian because people would call that rascist. 😂
They’re orange & yellow 🤷🏾♂️
oh, how wonderful. and it only took 50 years.
The GOP leader had a meltdown and I bet the MAGA crowd had one too. Racism in American will always be problem. Just the mere fact that one race considered themselves superior to the next. American is a melting pot of different people with a lot of diversity
These are both round eyes people.
