Hyphenated Lives

For this week’s episode, Kari, Chuks, and special guest Ubong kick off the episode with a happy birthday shoutout to Yuri Kochiyama and Malcolm X, a quick discussion of Macklemore’s anti-Semitic costume, and a longer discussion about ABC’s new shows for the fall. The main discussion this week centers on being Black in Asia. Both Chuks and Ubong share their experiences in Taiwan and mainland China, respectively, and upack the causes and ramifications of their experiences. We answer three asks this week: the first comes from makingofamelody, who asks about People of Color being racist against other People of Color; an anonymous asker, who asks about multisexual privilege (Kari’s piece here); an anonymous asker, who asks about sex positivity (Kari’s piece here).
