Not Your Model Minority
by Nabila Khan and Thulasi Kandiah
May 18, 2021 11:00 pm
For years, the “Model Minority” Myth has been used to place South Asians on a pedestal and create a racial divide by treating Asians as a monolith, lauding proximity to “Whiteness”, and continuing to perpetuate racism, inequity, and institutional injustice. This educational podcast challenges South Asian Canadians to reject the myth and point a critical lens inwards and outwards through learning, self-reflection, and informed action. Join your hosts Thulasi Kandiah and Nabila Khan as we explore the many sides of Canada and our place – as South Asians – within them.
