Chatting BS

Your favourite Bristolians are here chatting BS in, but not limiting the discussion to, the BS postcode. This week we have an honest discussion on Maz's experiences, with the complicated effects a mixed-racial heritage has on ones own identity. We touch on school experiences, effects on parental relations, racial conflict between ones own heritage, treating People of Colour (POC's) as a collective group, navigating a life of simultaneous privilege and oppression and how people can be an ally to aid the racial microaggressions experienced by all People of Colour in everyday life. This week we are blessed with the personal experiences of two mixed-race queens, Rhi and Rosie, whom share how their mixed heritage has effected their sense of self. On this weeks 'Is your glass half full or half empty?' segment... we question whether the sexualised perception and fetishisation of 'lighties' has a positive effect on representing the new generation of mixed-race individuals?
