Difficult-ish

As someone who is half South East Asian and half American, there are so many things discussed on this podcast that I can relate to. I never thought I’d hear someone else relate to how hard it is to make other brown friends or what the expectations for you are as the first generation American. Thank you for making me feel seen. I never expected how much I would come to love this podcast.

So happy I discovered this podcast recently. I love the topics discussed, the unique perspectives, the chemistry —everything! It’s almost as if I’m in the room.

love love love this podcast I’m so glad I found it! it’s so easy to feel alone and isolated as a brown person, not just in terms of being brown but also not rlly liking the same things or being alike in general. sometimes u feel like the only creative brown person out there which is crazy but it felt true! until I found this podcast, it’s helped me be more brave and I feel a lot more comfortable in my culture and skin. also btw I am a teen and I definitely have similar experiences to both mohuya and mashnun; I feel like a lot of brown media isn’t rlly geared towards youth or ppl living second gen.

If you think you’ve got to please white people, that is a personal problem. I am a white guy. I’ve got black people, Spanish people in my family. I’ve had Asian friends when I was in school growing up. They never had to please me. I guess that’s a northern thing. Down here in the south we don’t deal with any of that garbage. Every body gets along about 99% of the time.
