we want to talk about all the prejudices out there - bride and prejudice, pride and prejudice, bihar and prejudice. we all are shaped by things we consume, whether it is food or content. but this episode is about what culture (and pop culture) means to us, and how we are trying to be better than everyone else out there. listen and maybe you can be too.
no matter how much you learn, there is always more.
