Who gets to be Asian? And what does being Asian really mean?
It all depends upon whom you ask — and to mark Asian Heritage Month, CBC Manitoba did just that.
CBC reporter Joanne Roberts gathered together five Manitobans from five Asian communities (including her own) in a sunlit studio near downtown Winnipeg.
Together, they compared notes on everything from culture to cultural appropriation to cultural stereotypes in a special CBC Manitoba series: Being Asian. Competing truths.
Being Asian: Competing Truths was released on TV, radio and web in Manitoba and was syndicated nationally in May, 2022.
