Do you ever wonder why you're often treated like a circus freak or why your culture is put on an exhibition display? Well, it's probably because we are all Afong Moy -- the first "Chinese Lady" brought to the United States to literally be placed in a box to be gawked at. This week, comedian and actor SJ Son joins Sandie to tell the story of Afong Moy (it's also not her real name). SJ tells white people to read 5 articles per day. Sandie agrees. They also discuss interracial dating under the white gaze.
