The racist and sexist comments collected by Seulbin Roh in her book To Live As An Asian Woman are based on those experienced by the author herself. It allows the reader to take account of everyday assaults on the human dignity of Asian women.
‘As an Asian woman, born in Germany and living in Europe since, I have encountered and witnessed racist sexual objectification. Each time I speak up, most people stand in solitary with me, however, some react aggressively; they either scoff or denounce me. Thus, as an Asian female artist, I feel a strong sense of responsibility to address racial discrimination through my work.
