Waking Up To Racism Pt2 - Expert Hangout Podcast

Personal Growth, Confronting Casual Racism and Past Mistakes

Jonnie Jensen recounts a "monumental" moment from his university years when a Pakistani friend corrected his use of a racial slur, which served as a turning point in his understanding of language. He also shares uncomfortable memories of witnessing overt racism at a dinner table in 1991 and during a trip to an American university campus. He encourages listeners to be honest about their own past confusion and mistakes as a prerequisite for genuine change.
