I Hate Being Biracial | Hello Bes-tea Podcast | Reddit Stories Ep. 016
Tuesday Feb 06, 2024

This episode may be slightly controversial to some, but if the subject of race makes you feel uncomfortable - stick with us. Today we share a Reddit thread written by a person who is struggling with being a minority and biracial in America. As two biracial women, we felt particularly qualified to share our personal experiences growing up biracial in both Europe and the United States. In true bes-tea fashion, we wrap up with a round of Black Card Revoked. What are your thoughts on this? Tell us at: hellobesteas@gmail.com
