Eddie Zheng: Bridging the Divide | Between Black & White: Asian Americans Speak Out

Eddie Zheng spent 21 years behind bars in California for a crime he committed at age 16. Now he’s committed to building bridges - and bridging the divide between Asian Americans and other communities of color. But he’s not doing it alone. In one San Francisco neighborhood, Blacks and Asian Americans are working together to confront racism, fear, and misperceptions about one another. Episode 1 of our 3-part series.

I'm a black man and I'm sorry that people from my community is attacking people from the Asian community

[@standforhumanitariancauses4756]

You mean East Asians. When people say Asians they refer to East Asians. Asia is a big continent. Iran, Turkey, Syria. part of Russia, Armenia they're in West Asia, East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and south and North Korea, are their own race and group of people and have ZERO in common with west Asia.
