Today, I’m joined by Sukhi who has chosen the texts we’ll be talking about this week:

1) 4 Reasons Asking 'Where Are You From?' Is Offensive

2) What’s Wrong with Asking “Where Are You From?”

https://hbr.org/2020/10/whats-wrong-with-asking-where-are-you-from

I recommend you read these articles before listening to the conversation (that’s what this podcast is all about, after all) but the chat will still make sense if you don’t!
