#Asian Americans, Brazil, & more

The June 6 episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver of course brought some humor, but also a timely discussion of Asian Americans in society.

Oliver started off the show tonight with a discussion about Great Britain, which is (fittingly) one of his greatest topics of conversation. He had a lot to discuss here when it comes to the country’s handling of the global health crisis and from here, he transferred over to a discussion about Brazil — a place that has somehow managed to do a job that is even worse.

But like we noted earlier, we’re not here to discuss the early segments or even the use of the phrase “hot vax summer” that has been done to death by local news. The main purpose of this article is discussing the treatment of Asian Americans in this country, including just how oblivious many people are to their own prejudices towards them. Take, for example, a poll that made it clear that most Americans cannot even name a famous Asian American currently alive … even though one is them is the Vice President of the United States.
