While an appreciation for Korean culture can help people become more open to other cultures, it doesn’t guarantee the reduction or elimination of anti-Asian hatred and discrimination. However, there have been various initiatives and funding<\/a> addressing race, ethnicity, and culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those is the introduction of Ji-Young \u2014 the first Asian American Muppet to be welcomed to Sesame Street<\/a><\/strong>. Korean American herself, Muppet puppeteer Kathleen Kim, spoke out about her ambitions for her role. “My one hope, obviously, is to actually help teach what racism is, help teach kids to be able to recognize it and then speak out against it.<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n
