Hello and welcome to our national conversation about conversations about race,

the bi-weekly multiracial podcast where we discuss the ways we can't talk, don't talk,

would rather not talk but intermittently, fitfully, embarrassingly do talk about culture, identity, politics, power, and privilege in our pre-post, yet still very racial America.

You could say all that, or just call this show about race.

From Los Angeles, I'm Barrettin Day Thurston, author of How to Be Black,

and joining me from the Panoply Studios in New York are my co-host.

Raquel Sepeda, author of Bird of Paradise, How I Became Latina,

and Tanner Colby, author of Some of My Best Friends of Black, The of Bird of Paradise, How I Became Latina, and Tanner Colby, author of

some of my best friends of Black, The Strange Story of Integration in America. Here's what we've

got for you today. First, fresh off the boat. The very historic, very important sitcom about

an Asian American family. The first season is a rap, and we binge-watched the whole thing. Did we like it? Would

we do it again? Will we answer these questions? Second, white people, including Florida Governor

Jet Bush, claiming racial identities that are not their own. What does it mean for our great nation?

We'll discuss race as a social construct. And finally, Dixon D. White, not his real name, self-proclaimed fat, formerly racist redneck, has become a YouTube sensation for down-home rants from his forward F-150 against white supremacy.

Is America ready for the Dixon Racial Healing Video Selfie Challenge? We'll wrap things up with our

tips and recommendations, something we like to call yo, check this out. Now, for those of y'all

interested in being a part of our national conversation about conversations about race,
