In 2016, Asian American Tiffany Trieu applied for a job as a graphic designer.5 The president of the company responded with a letter saying they had already hired enough foreign nationals and needed to hire an American to avoid being unfair. The kicker? Trieu was born in the United States and is an American citizen. Though under-discussed, this experience isn’t a rarity for job seekers of Asian descent. South Asians (individuals from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) along with individuals with Muslim-sounding names are often targets, thanks to false narratives on terrorism and other hate-based sentiments that can affect their job prospects.6
