DEAR WHITE WOMEN - Multiracial Asians - it's time to get personal

Why is talking about the multiracial identity and deconstructing the misperception of the Asian monolith important and relevant to you listening, if you're not multiracial? Several things.

  1. Census information - over 10% of the population identifies as multi-racial, but will changing demographics be enough to combat racism? We don't think so.

  2. Belonging matters - and if we're to create a thriving society, how do we ensure that multi-racial people belong?

  3. Legislation - and why we are where we are as a country. Interracial marriages were only made legal in 1967 - 56 years ago!!

Listen this fall for personal stories from your two biracial - Japanese and white - hosts, Sara & Misasha as they interview some must-know multi-racial folks, deconstruct history and misperceptions like the model minority myth and the false narrative of Black-on-Asian crimes, examine the power of advocacy and change and more in this powerful arc they're kicking off on the Dear White Women podcast, a show that's been running for 4.5 years.

Follow Dear White Women so you don't miss these conversations!
