This is our second episode in which we respond to listener questions. Out of the dozens of questions we received, three in particular rose to the top of the pile:

When is it ok to believe a stereotype about my urban kids?

Why do people perceive Asians as being smart? Am I racist if I think all Asians are typically smart?

Should I use pop culture in a classroom? How can I use it in the right way?
