The Mississippi Delta region has a long history of racism, but the story goes beyond Black and White. Asian Americans say they too have faced discrimination, but have mostly stayed silent. As the pandemic has reignited tensions, one young man in the Delta's Chinese American community says it's time to speak out. A new episode of CBS Reports explores the history of anti-Asian racism in Mississippi's Delta region and a new generation that's demanding change.

I’m the 3rd generation descendent of a Chinese Delta family. I visit Clarksdale, MS every year and visit the store where my dad/grandfather/great grandfather worked and lived in the family store. My uncle was also murdered on the doorstep of the store. I felt this story. It’s personal. To the families represented in this video, I wish you all the best. We can change things for the better. P.S. to Gilroy and Audric, thank you so very much for your help. Our family greatly appreciates you. -B. Goon

Notice it was in CA...the only time I got bullied in the same manner was in CA...the Bay Area even. Here's the kicker. I am starting school coming from the Philippines and the "racism" came from the filipinos who were born in the US. They were the ones telling me and my brother to go back home.

I cried watching this. My heart is broken for my Asian American people. And it took so long for this type of video to be made highlighting an invisible community. The decades of pain that these ppl must have had to endure. I can see that the older gen don't want to speak out, and frankly, I don't have any animosity towards that. They had to adapt to survive. We live in a somewhat different time now in that we can connect across the internet and for that I have hope we can build stronger ties and collectivize and be a larger part of the American consciousness. Guys like Ryan represent hope of the young generation.

I am half Thai and Filipino and I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Moved to Cleveland, Mississippi when I was 9 years old. I was subjected to a lot of verbal and physical abuse because I was Asian. But was able to make friends with both black and white people, which I learned and enjoyed all aspects from their cultures, and they learned from mine. I made the best of things and moved away to start learning a trade. I lived in NYC for the past decade and a half and I can't recall of any confrontations that made me feel uncomfortable about being Asian. The Pandemi hit, so I left NYC and came back to MS. Things are still the same.

In my whole life only when Trumptard came in did I understand what it felt like be attacked by racism. Unlike my parent's generation where they kept their heads down and worked hard, my generation spoke up. We are Americans as anyone else in this country and stood up to these ignorant racist bullies.

@MrBoxhead19 Год назад

The difference between the two generations is very evident. I've been binge watching these small documentaries for a bit now and this is what I have observed. The older generations were secure in who they and have no desire to prove that they belonged or even felt that they weren't welcomed. They lived with being discriminated against but also lived knowing that they were there and many also welcomed them. The younger generations, like one of the elders have said, they are too sensitive...often have this feeling that they need to somehow prove that they belong by voicing and being louder. The older generation have proven that they belong in their communities and proud to call themselves southerners even with sometimes being discriminated against. But by living in peace and helping others, they have proven that they belonged...by their actions. I am not sure if being a louder voice will actually help the situation that has happened during Covid and by not being completely honest about the majority of people doing the violence against the Asian communities. I came from the Bay Area...we heard about all the attacks that was happening against the Asian communities.

They have oppressed others while running their businesses and profited from doing so.....and used surveillance and the police to police black bodies within their businesses and as soon as they face a little hardship it's like woe is me.
