The Sacramento Hmong youth, in particular, are bucking that model minority myth. 'We face a lot of the same issues, the school-to-prison pipeline, we all fall under the most marginalized communities.' Cambodian, Lao, Mien, Hmong and some Vietnamese populations are most impacted by poverty, gangs and violence, Yang adds.

'When we talk about Black and Brown youth and issues, don't leave out Southeast Asian youth,' Yang said. Leesai Yang, the first director and cofounder of Sacramento EBAYC, notes that Southeast Asian American youth, in particular, share a lot of similar struggles as Black and other Brown youth, and thus have a lot of reason to engage in socio-political issues.

Multifaceted: The Cultural Diversity of Asian America (Full disclosure: this writer worked part-time at EBAYC in Oakland in the late '90s when in college). But he saw similar issues: that Asian American youth voices and needs were oftentimes not at the forefront nor prioritized. By the time Kakishiba came of age, the wars in Southeast Asia had ended, and more Southeast Asian refugee populations, including Vietnamese, Mien, Cambodian, Burmese, Lao and Hmong resettled in Sacramento and Oakland. When he was growing up in Sacramento, the predominant Asian American youth population was Chinese American and Japanese American. EBAYC Executive Director David Kakishiba, who grew up in Sacramento said that API youth are often underserved in the larger youth services.ДЇor the past 40 years, Kakishiba has been working with youth, and he's seen that Asian Americans are often not included. The Sacramento branch of EBAYC was formed in 2014, and immediately began working with the local Asian American youth population. He dove into the work almost immediately, intensively working on several high-profile, city-wide campaigns to gain more funding for youth services in Sacramento. When he was a sophomore in high school, a mentor reached out to him at his high school. Many of the youth, in particular Hmong Americans, started off as volunteers or interns with EBAYC Sacramento, a second branch of the East Bay Asian Youth Center, a 40 year-old Asian American-led nonprofit serving youth in Oakland.Дexter Niskala was one such youth. Watch Machine Gun Kelly get hit with bottles and tree branches below.In South Sacramento, a group of mostly Southeast Asian American youth have been finding their voice through local civic engagement and advocacy, but not without many challenges, resistance, heartache - and ultimately, some hope. The Ohio-bred artist hopped on Twitter and retweeted a fan's video that shows fans singing along to his set. Last month, Machine Gun Kelly had to push back on reports that he was getting booed at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Ky. Some fans were even urging Slipknot to team up with KellyвЂ™s other arch nemesis- Eminem-and drop a diss song about him.ДЄfter getting dragged, Kelly issued an explanation for his Slipknot diss, which was more aimed at Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor and his disapproval of a verse that he sent in for Kelly'sВ 2020 rock album, Tickets to My Downfall. Upon hearing his remarks, Slipknot fans jumped on social media and dragged MGK endlessly. вЂњSo anyway, whatвЂ™s everyoneвЂ™s favorite candy? ReeseвЂ™s Pieces?вЂќ вЂњHey, you wanna know what IвЂ™m really happy that IвЂ™m not doing? Being 50 years old wearing a fuckin' weird mask on a fucking stage, talkin' shit,вЂќ Kelly told the crowd. Last month, MGK dissed the group during his set at the Riot Festival in Chicago, an event where both MGK and the rock band performed. KellyвЂ™s moment of self-reflection might be from his newly minted feud with veteran metal band Slipknot.

I'm doing this show for her and everyone who came to see us.'

This morning I was like, 'Do we get on the plane and go to this?' I was sitting there thinking about the last festival we did where this 10-year-old got her poster ripped up just for liking me. 'How the fuck you feelin', Aftershock?' he reportedly asked the crowd. MGK seemed unfazed by it all as he climbed back down from the tent.ДЄccording to the website, the 'Papercuts' artist was garnering boos and jeers from the crowd from the beginning of his set. In the clip, a bottle is being hurled at the rapper-turned-rocker, then a thick tree limb and a plastic Coke bottle.
