Op-Ed: Andrew Yang seems invisible to the mainstream media — just like most Asian Americans (via latimesopinion)
Yang’s platform includes automation, cannabis legalization, a value-added tax for tech and, most famously, his plan to create a national basic income or “freedom dividend.” He is not running on foreign policy experience. And yet, during the first debate, the American-born Yang, who is of Taiwanese descent, was asked only two questions.In the most recent debate on Nov. 20, Yang was ignored for 30 minutes before being asked a question.
I can’t help but recall during my years in investment banking, how many times I was spoken over, mixed up with the only other Asian person in my department of 200. My ideas were stolen, and I was overlooked for promotions. Invisibility is hard to pin down precisely because you can’t see it. When few Asian Americans are in the top tier of leadership, the visual narrative conveys we are somehow not qualified.
