Welcome to Season 6, Episode 6! We're back with Part 2 on The History of the Patel Motel Phenomenon. If you haven't listed to Part 1 which was S06E04, then we'd love it if you go back and list to that one for more context. In this episode, we continue the history, talking about what the predominantly Gujarati motel and hotel owners did when they were faced with racism from banks, insurance companies, customers, and the professional organizations that were supposed to be fighting for ALL the owners in the lodging industry. We take time to share about the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) which the Indian American hotel owners created to help lobby on their behalf and create a more level playing. One of most impactful projects was the creation of the 12 Points of Fair Franchising, a document that recently was updated. In our recurring segment we bring you another segment of Racist or Not, where we share a phrase or saying and discuss whether it's racist… or not. Today we're talking about the phrase "It's All Chinese to Me." If you support what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.
