Born in France to Algerian parents, Sadi recalls his childhood memory of moving from a neighbourhood filled with immigrant families and children of immigrants, to one where he was part of 'one of the only non-white families around'. Sadi talks very openly about the racial propaganda facing France today, and we explore how this has tied into the recent history of North African migrants very openly and publicly racially discriminated by the media and public health journals, and the impact this is still having on how Africans (and many black people in general) are treated by the French.
In this episode, we also explore Sadi's experience of moving to Japan, where he was once again quite an 'outsider' to a lot of the people around him, and just how he dealt with it.
