In this episode, we will discuss first impressions and stereotypes. Like when you need to leave the store and someone insists on knowing where your parents and grandparents are really from, learning what a beat drop is as a junior in college, and being asked, “Why are your legs so hairy?”. We often neglect the impact our own assumptions may have when we meet people for the first time.

For better or worse, these interactions is what often shapes - or confirms- our understanding of individuals and groups. Lonnie, Onion, and Q reflect on conversations where people have expressed incorrect views or stereotypes about us and how they’ve affect us. And should we fight these stereotypes or embrace them?
