Transcript (PDF) available here.

This is part one of a two-part conversation around Asian representation off-screen and certain workplace Asian stereotypes and prejudices. We discuss the trope of the "interchangeable asian", the "perpetual foreigner", and #SorryWrongAsian. Come back next week for part two.

Do The Kids Know? is a weekly series of discussions between community workers, Prakash and Kristen, that unpack race, media, popular culture, and politics in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) from an anti-colonial perspective.

Our goal is to bring nuance to sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours.

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
