In this episode, Jisel sits down with UCLA Professor Caroline A. Streeter to discuss the complexities of mixed-race identities.
Professor Streeter offers a nuanced view of navigating identity amidst societal pressures as she shares personal stories from her childhood and examines the influence of popular media on perceptions of beauty and identity. They discuss the unique challenges of growing up in military families, the strategic decisions parents make to protect kids from racial discrimination, the longing for certain physical features, and the impact of mixed cultural heritage.
The episode also covers critical dialogue on mixed-race identities through various historical and academic lenses. We touch on significant milestones like the 2000 U.S. Census and the lifting of anti-Asian immigration barriers in 1965, and how these events have shaped the mixed-race population and identity in America. Professor Streeter shares insights into race and representation in theater and film, and dives into the implications of modern artistic interpretations like "Hamilton: An American Musical." Tune in for the first part of an enriching exploration of race, ethnicity, and cultural representation, and stay tuned for part two of their conversation.
