Episode 23: Thoughts on Racism

Zaib talks about the ongoing political and social crisis in the United States from an immigrant perspective discussing lack of 'desi' interest in 'local political/social' developments and looking at everything from a prism of 'what's good for |insert home country name here| arising from the crisis here in the US' all the while eating, sleeping, drinking and living it up on the same land.

Zaib also talks about the how this is a time for action but also introspect, acknowledge and remove racist tendencies and 'tokenism' within our own communities ALONG with standing up for the oppressed and avoid invoking 'whataboutism' everywhere.

This is a time to be an ally to the African American community and that means to stand-up with them, under them and most importantly, LISTEN!
