Real People Real Talk

Coming to America Pt. 3

Paul Calcote Season 1 Episode 25

In Part 3:  Seung Yeon Son "Sylvia"  from South Korea, Adedeji Akindele-Alo "Deji" from Nigeria, and Anett Bernal from Mexico discuss cultural insensitivity and jokes that aren't really jokes as it relates to their cultures. We debunk a few myths while also diving deeper into the conversation about diversity, assimilation, and inclusion!

A few quotes from this episode:

  • Sylvia "I'm not just smart because I'm Asian"
  • Anett "Just because I'm Mexican doesn't mean I like tacos"
  • Deji  " While jogging, I shouldn't have to fear for my life"
