Experts: Anti-Asian Racism Is Snarled up With Misogyny
Anti-Asian racism has a long history in the united states and often intertwines with misogyny, experts explain.

On March 16, a man went on a shooting rampage at three Atlanta spas, killing eight people, including six Asian women. The killings have sparked outrage and fear in the Asian American community, but the suspect has denied that the killings were racially motivated.
The suspect’s claims and the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office’s subsequent claims have set off a debate about anti-Asian racism in America.
Too often, people default to a “color-blind” lens that is quick to dismiss the centrality of racism and white supremacy when it comes to understanding horrific acts of violence, according to Ariela Schachter, assistant professor of sociology at Washington University in St. Louis.

The case of a Missouri patient who was awake during surgery is making headlines, as it appears that his sevoflurane was never turned on, leaving him aware for at least 13 minutes of his procedure.
Last summer, Matthew Caswell went into Progress West Hospital in O Fallon, Missouri, for hernia repair and removal of a lipoma on the back of his neck.
But he realized early in the procedure that something was wrong. I knew I was in trouble when I felt the cold iodine hit my belly and they were scrubbing me off. At any second I was waiting to go out, but all of a sudden I just got stabbed in my stomach, Caswell told local TV station

.- A thousand years ago, a city rose on the banks of the Mississippi River, near what eventually became St. Louis. Over miles of rich farms, public plazas and earthen mounds, the city known today as Cahokia was a thriving hub of immigrants, lavish feasting and religious ceremony. At its peak in the 1100s, Cahokia housed 20,000 people, greater than contemporaneous Paris.

Washington University in St. Louis’ Olin Business School has climbed to new global heights, joining an elite cohort of triple-accredited business schools, while at the same time adding new degree programs and certifications including a new online MBA that’s distinguished by its focus on preparing students for leadership in a digitally enabled world.
On April 27, Olin earned accreditation from the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), completing a sweep of all three global accreditation agencies that includes the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). That makes Olin the only highly ranked business school in the United States to earn triple accreditation and places Olin among fewer than 1% of all business schools globally.
