b'MODERN Minorities - New Name, Same Conversations\\n\\u201cModel Minorities\\u201d is a provocative term - often used to create a wedge between racial groups. After all, if one minority is a model, what does that say about the others? This podcast is meant to be\\xa0about conversations on work and life, told thru the lens of race and gender. As two Asian American hosts, we thought \\u201cModel Minorities\\u201d - while of negative origins - was a name we could take back, and turn on it\\u2019s head.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWe were wrong. After some heavy conversations - with guests, friends, and strangers - it\\u2019s time for a new name.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWe uncover the stories, perspectives and often unspoken truths about how people uniquely experience the world. It doesn\\u2019t matter where you\\u2019re from, the color of your skin, or who you love -\\xa0we are no one\\u2019s Model Minority - but we are all MODERN Minorities\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
