What's Happening in Guangzhou & Being a Black Expat in China?
The crazy thing about the 24/7 news cycle is people’s day to day horrible realities can quickly become yesterday’s news. While listening to CNN this week, I heard an update about the discrimination faced by people of African descent in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. Imani and I discuss her time in Wuhan at the outbreak of Covid19 and her experiences in China as a BlackExpat, and an American expat. We discuss the privileges of that, curiosity vs. racism, xenophobia, being Muslim in China and even knuckin' and buckin' in Egypt. Imani had me tearing up laughing.
