Modern Minorities

Ryan Joe still can’t find his pickled cabbage (and soy bean)


Listen Later

Ryan’s a third-generation Chinese American who grew up on a...walnut orchard? He also happens to be an “industry reporter” and Co-hosts (with Raman) on "Quarantined Comics" - their secret, nerdy podcast. The 3 of us had a ranging discussion on racist experiences - and fears of racism in the time of Coronavirus. We then moved onto the light topics of family, language, assimilation, and Ryan’s encounter with the Korean boy-band BTS. Keeping things light, our roller-coaster of a conversation ended discussing the loaded term (and show-name) “Model Minority.” Easy peasy!
