Have you ever seen this bullsh*t on a dating app: “no Blacks, no Asians, no rice, no spice”? - Putting it bluntly, racial preferences when it comes to dating is RACIST. This episode, Prakash and Kristen break it down for the kids (y’all). Included in this convo is the problematic hypersexualization of Blackness, pornography and why y’all should stop frequenting free porn sites, and sexual racism and fetishization. Content note for language surrounding sexual violence.

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s)
Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours.
Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
