Episode Synopsis

“Black women are angry”
“Black men are criminals”
SPOILER: Stereotypes and myths about race are not just the domain of overt racists.
In this episode, we explore the common misconceptions about black, brown and other minority groups.
Have you ever thought or expressed openly that East Asian students are inherently better at maths, black people have natural rhythm, or Jews are good with money?
We look at how our unconscious biases affect the way we think, feel and behave around those that are different to us. And how it affects those being judged on those assumptions on a day to day basis, both in their personal and professional lives.
