Episode 153: #StopAsianHate with Lexa Doig
This is the first episode in our new #StopAsianHate series where we explore the intersection between anti-Asian hate and the film and television industry. Actress Lexa Doig returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast for an incredibly raw and emotional conversation about cultural erasure in the entertainment industry, and to talk about her April 3 fundraiser for organizations fighting anti-Asian hate. Says Lexa (whose ancestry is Filipino and Scottish): “In our industry, the default for mainstream is white.”
