This week, we're joined in the studio by Elijah Lawal to discuss his new book - "The Clapback: Your Guide to Calling Out Racist Stereotypes"
From sex and sports to crime and drugs, Black people encounter stereotypes everyday. In his book, Elijah gives out the tools he thinks that people need to shut down racism - bringing together humour, research, and history.
We discuss why people think they can say the N-word, views on interracial dating from outside and within, and why the government seem to think that Black people love chicken so much that it could prevent knife crime.
Plus - what do the billions of dollars sent internationally by immigrants in the UK yearly have to do with Brexit?
