Jihee Lee — intersectional diagram to represent racism and discrimination in daily life against Asians and people of color

Jihee Lee is a Korean graphic designer who studied and works in Germany. She worked on the normalization of stereotypes and racism, in everyday life, but also in visual culture. For instance on the famous website dafont, with categories such as Foreign Look and subcategory Chinese, Jpn which represent a very stereotyped, Western, view of Asian fonts and culture.

Together with So Jin Park, she created I AM ANGRY!, a website and design project which alerts to the racism and discrimination in daily life against Asians and people of color.
