In this raw and deeply moving episode of the Kharnage podcast, Hassan Khan shares his personal and painful journey of living under the weight of racism in Britain. From the early 90s, when his father told him, “One day,you’ll want to leave this land”. A statement he didn’t understand back then, Hassan now confronts the bitter truth of what those words really meant.
Throughout his life, Hassan endured racism on a daily basis, navigating a society that constantly questioned his worth, identity, and place in it. But rather than break under the pressure, he rose through it. With unmatched determination, he found strength in sports, where he built success in spite ofconstant prejudice and exclusion.
This episode is not just a testimony to his pain — it’s a declaration of resilience. Hassan opens up about the cost he paid emotionally, mentally and spiritually just to exist and succeed in a world that often refused to see him as equal.
But this is not just his story — it’s a reflection of a wider, growing issue. Racism is far from over. In fact, it’s rising again. Hassan issues a powerful call to action: we must no longer stay silent. It’s time to come together as one to confront racism, dismantle it and protect the next generation from enduring the same injustices.
This episode is for those ready to listen, to learn, and to stand.
