Episode 15 // "It's Giving White Saviour Complex" - Carmen Rose, The 1975 and Being Queer in Malaysia
This story is a rare perfect storm of pop culture, race, politics, religion and sexual identity, so you know Rice Privilege had to jump on it!
We speak with Malaysian drag artist Carmen Rose about what it's like to be a queer public figure in a conservative, religious society, her reaction to Matty Healy's onstage antics which led to the cancellation of Good Vibes Festival, as well as what exactly she means by the infinitely quotable diss: "It's giving white saviour complex". -

Refreshing
I personally do not know the podcasters but I came across this Podcast via Instagram. I’m an American living in Prague. It’s a very honest perspective of being a three culture kid without being overly “woke.” It’s refreshing to hear an honest perspective of what is means to be Asian in North America, Europe and Australia. I’m curious as to what you all think about the latest Asian-American attacks in the US and the lack of media attention on it.
