☆ Constance Wu’s harassment claims reveal a painful trade-off women of color face

But the fact that she did not speak out points to an added layer of hesitation many women of color face when confronted with such harassment, experts say. She had been hoping for a “fresh start.”Advocates and scholars say Wu’s comments reflect a familiar issue that women of color regularly contend with: the pressure to uphold racial solidarity, regardless of the harm they face. In her upcoming book “Making a Scene,” which will be released on Oct. 4, Wu detailed the alleged harassment. The expectation women face to place race before any gender-based misconduct or abuse means that they often do not get to define what being Asian American means, she said. Bringing issues of harassment into the public domain oftentimes forces people to contend with long-ignored problems, she said.
☆ President Biden says America will get inflation under control. But it won’t be easy

“I’m telling the American people that we’re going to get control of inflation,” Biden said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday night. In June, the CPI reached 9.1% year over year, the highest inflation rate in more than four decades. [The] inflation rate month-to-month was just an inch, hardly at all,” he said in the interview. While declining energy prices have helped to lower the overall inflation rate, price increases for food and shelter remain stubbornly high. Still, key contributing and detracting factors of inflation remain largely beyond the control of Biden, and even the Fed.

“It’s not the responsibility of Asian women to fix all of the issues that affect Asian women,” said Michael Chui, a partner at McKinsey who co-authored the study. Asian American women meet uniquely strong resistance to advancement by being “penalized” for being both people of color and women. According to the research, the share of promotions for Asian women is 1 for every 2 Asian men at the senior manager level, dropping to 1 for every 6 Asian men at the C-suite executive level. Some Asian American women she has spoken to have reported that the “tiger mom” stereotype, which assumes Asian women are strict, demanding and unfeeling caregivers, can harm their advancement in the workplace. … It just works against Asian American women.”Another major issue that affects Asian American women, and the racial group more generally, is the failure to be properly networked in organizations, Chin said.
