Asian-American writer Jenny Zhang, author of « Sour Heart », is Kiffe ta race special guest for our first full english episode. How does it feel to be perceived as part of a minority in France and the US ? How are « hyphenated identities » dealt with in both countries ? Why is it so hard for French people to deal with race issues ? What does Jenny Zhang think of French « universalism » and « colorblindness » ? All three discuss these among other topics, such as the segregation of spaces (inner-city vs suburbs) in the US, « political correctness » or the « bamboo ceiling ».
