Co-discussants Anna Holmes, Baratunde Thurston, Raquel Cepeda and Tanner Colby host a lively multiracial conversation about the ways we can’t talk, don’t talk, would rather not talk, but intermittently, fitfully, embarrassingly do talk about culture, identity, politics, power, and privilege in our pre-post-yet-still-very-racial America. This show is "About Race."

Customer Reviews
Outside perspective
Coming from a country far outside the US, where the issues of race are contextually very different, though as complex in nature, I have found listening to About Race extremely enlightening, allowing me to step back from my own country’s conversation and see it from new perspectives; a valuable gift for which I thank you. I am also grateful for the deepening of perspective I feel I’m beginning to absorb about race in the US.
