Half American

I just wanted to catch up and say hi! It’s been a WHILE. But yes, I love you all, and cheers to a new season.

Today I talk about some things I saw this week and also about my weird food phases.

Today, I talk about how South Asian mockery is normalized, how it affects us, and possibly how we can stop it by talking about the situations. I also give some personal examples to really show that this IS a real thing that happens.

Today my friend Khoi and I further talk about the importance of mental health within the Asian American community, and how to deal with mental illness.

Today I talk about the issue of colorism in India and in the world.

Today I talk about how stereotypical Indian names seep into the real world when we converse or tell others our name.

In this episode I talk about the mental illness stigma in the Asian American community and also about Indian food. It’s a pretty big jump between topics, but it’s worth it!

Today, I talk about the stereotypes of India and Indians in Hollywood movies and television shows.
