Episode 40: A Rap on Race— Blue Passport Privilege Edition with Carl Hill and Patrick
SHOW NOTES:
This week’s episode is an episode swap with Carl Hill, the host of The Black Expat Podcast, along with his business partner Patrick, co-host of Six-Packs with Expats. In this episode, we mimicked somewhat of a modern-day version of James Baldwin and Margarette Mead’s discussion called A Rap on Race, which I briefly shared a snippet of in Episode 5 with Brian Cadogan. Rather than discussing race generally, we hone in on the notion of the blue passport privilege and our own interpretations of what it means to be Black and Abroad specifically from Carl and Patrick’s Taiwanese perspectives, and in the UAE, from my perspective. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Carl and Patrick.
