Celebrating AAPI Athletic Achievements

Since 2020, AAPIs have struggled with the anti-AAPI hate felt across the country. The Tokyo Summer Olympics reminds us that Americans of all races, culture and gender are competing in the Olympics representing one country, USA. The Olympics help remind us that what makes the US a great country is the fact that we are a country made of immigrants succeeding not despite being diverse, but rather because we are diverse. In this article, LACAAEA celebrates the outstanding achievements of all our AAPI Olympic athletes that are proudly representing all of us on the world stage. In this article, we’ve highlighted just a handful of unique stories to inspire you to stand taller.
