3/ You're Not Ugly, You're Just Ethnic

In this episode, we tackle the sensitive issue of colorism within South Asian societies. From its historical origins in colonialism to its modern-day implications, we unravel the complexities surrounding skin tone biases. Join Drs. Anu and Rashmi as they shine a light on the lived experiences of individuals with darker skin tones, discussing the impact of microaggressions and societal standards of beauty. Additionally, we explore the influence of social media trends on shaping perceptions of ethnic populations in mainstream media.
