MIXED MEDIA WATCH NEWS UPDATE
Carmen discusses several recent news items. First, Halle Berry admits that for much of her childhood, she felt ugly and wished she were white. Haven’t we all had those thoughts? Second, two white teenage boys in Texas are accused of a vicious attack on a young Latino boy. The motivation? They thought he was trying to kiss a white girl. Third, a new study from the University of Washington claims that “multiracial adolescents in middle school are significantly more likely to engage in such problem behaviors as violence and substance use than single-race young people.”
RACE IN THE WORKPLACE
Jen shares a story about the discrimination she faced as an NYC public school teacher, and one of our listeners shares a story about a coworker who just couldn’t keep his racism under control.
LISTENER FEEDBACK
Jen and Carmen discuss an email they received in reaction to last week’s bonus mini-episode, in which they shared with you Carmen’s keynote address at the 10th Annual National Student Conference on the Mixed Race Experience.

I don’t unders…let me rephrase this.
Racism is rampant in every assembly where the majority of people are of the dominant Patriarchal society. They call it being friendly but what it is is maintaining their privilege to identify whomever and apply all stereotype casting to that individual whether they like it or not and when you don’t they become nasty, violent and even physical. ANd you wonder why the rest of us mixed race individuals engage in a little pay back behavior or indulge in self destruct? Please.
