As co-host of NPR\\u2019s\\xa0Code Switch,\\xa0Shereen Marisol Meraji\\xa0combines groundbreaking reporting on race and culture with her own personal experience as a half-Puerto Rican, half-Persian American. On this episode, she and Manoush discuss why the push for inclusion makes some people uncomfortable and how the diversity discussion can get even more delicate when people don\\u2019t clearly identify as white or black\\u2014like Manoush, who only recently realized her co-workers considered her a woman of color.
