In this episode, we discuss our own unique experiences growing up as Asian-Canadians and seeing (or not seeing) ourselves represented in the media we consumed. Jocelyn is mixed-race and was born in Toronto, and Danny is Taiwanese and immigrated to Canada when he was 6. We talk about what it was like to feel “othered” and the effects of tokenism.
