Brown Girls Do It Too - Race Traitors and Sharan Dhaliwal

Download Race Traitors and Sharan Dhaliwal

Poppy & Rubina have both dated men outside of their race and have been called race traitors because of it. They discuss this with Burnt Roti magazine editor, Sharan Dhaliwal, who has dealt with it herself.

Both Poppy and Rubina talk of making sacrifices in their culture in order to continue dating non Asian guys. Similarly, our guest Sharan, was made explicitly aware, growing up, that she should be only dating within her race, and on top of that she had the added pressure of being bi. We hear how she has only recently come out to her family and how her mother in particular dealt with the news.
