"As artists who have been mentored/inspired by MANY Black men and women, my director Ben and I were moved to loudly and definitively voice our solidarity with the Black community - while acknowledging that our communities are viewed/treated differently," Chu told NBC News. "We also wanted to oppose expectations of Asian Americans as silent, complicit, voiceless bodies who tend to 'go with the flow' of dominant culture. Words and video are our craft, and our hope was that this piece would spark conversation, challenge people, and stir action."
