Fighting Asian Hate with Cultural Pride
The realm of Anti-Asian Hate:
In the face of growing anti-Asian hate, it became essential to showcase the beauty of Vietnamese culture and raise awareness about the rich heritage of Southeast Asia. By highlighting the Ao Dai in the Google Doodle, we aimed to celebrate the resilience and diversity of Vietnamese women while standing in solidarity against discrimination and prejudice.
Cultural Significance:
Wearing the Ao Dai to school holds immense cultural significance. It is an expression of identity and pride, a visual reminder of Vietnam's deep-rooted heritage and enduring traditions.
