Episode 22: Being Too Black & Not Being Black Enough (At the Same Time)

The reaction to Meghan Markle's engagement is in, and it's not pretty. Christopher and Jeanette spend most of the podcast discussing the reaction from a variety of racial perspectives. There's also some chat about the value of identifying as biracial, and a recent piece from the New York Times about a family that adopted and soon after returned a baby they didn't know was black before they met her.

This whole episode is about perspectives on biracial identity. No need for timestamps this time.
