We've all heard this - people being called "good at math" just because they're Asian, or women being called "understanding and warm". How is it possible that these seemingly positive stereotypes can have a negative impact on people? Today, our guest Swati Chawla (IG: @chawla_swati) shares her experiences with positive stereotypes, and we discuss how these "norms" put on us by society can affect our psychology and individuality.

We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes! Feel free to give us some feedback on our email [email protected] or sending us a DM on Instagram @thewhycoordinate.
