RANT:
Jen and Carmen do a joint rant about the notion that nowadays, it’s people of color who are segregating themselves.
ROUNDTABLE:
Carmen hosts a roundtable with Ji-in of Twice the Rice and Jae Ran Kim of Harlow’s Monkey, both of whom write extensively about international and transracial adoption. They discuss a variety of issues, including why children of color in a given culture/country being relinquished for adoption in the first place, why the “colorblind” approach to transracial adoption is so problematic, the prevalence of cultural appropriation, and much, much more.
