This is a great follow-up to the recent Addicted to Race episode I co-hosted with Latoya, in which we discussed the intersection between race and body image.
It’s a video produced by students at Columbia University (hat tip to Reappropriate) and I recognize quite a few people I met when I keynoted the New York City Asian American Student Conference back in April. Kudos to them for putting together this very compelling documentary.
It was especially depressing to me to see how many of the young women in the video had suffered from eating disorders or who had friends who did. 
This is definitely an issue that is under-discussed among Asian-Americans.
