This is Part 2 of my conversation with Arthur Chu, the Asian American who has amassed more than $235,000 in two-weeks on “Jeopardy.”
But it’s also made him the target of racist and intimidating tweets and comments on the internet. He talks about what it’s like to be a racial minority, and how despite opportunities and success, there’s always a feeling of a compromised sense of belonging. He hasn’t forgotten what his father told him as a young boy growing up Asian American.
But he also has chosen to be very open and confront any racism he perceives head on.
