Lt. Gen. Brad Webb, commander of Air Education and Training Command, will host the sixth episode of "AETC Real Talk: Race and Diversity in the Air Force" April 22 at 3 p.m. (CDT) on AETC's Facebook page.
With Webb, for this episode, will be Maj. Carl Chen, AETC budget analyst. The discussion will be on Asian American and Pacific Islander disparity in the military and current country climate.
"In line with the Air Force's broadening of the racial disparity review, we are broadening our conversation on race and diversity in the Air Force with this AETC Real Talk," Webb said. "Asian American and Pacific Islanders in our nation have faced discrimination, racism and harassment, especially throughout the last year, and it's important we seek to understand."
