Chop Suey literally translates to “random pieces” in Cantonese. In this episode, Kristy & Angie cook up some chop suey of random shit including filial piety, Chinese Canadian history, and Asian representation in the BLM movement. Of course, there’s some Harry Potter and astrology goodness as well.
Highlights:
- What does it mean to “be present”
- China is basically Westeros
- Juneteenth March 2020
- Defining confirmation bias
- Old vs. New Chinese immigrants
- Which Pottermore houses are Kristy & Angie in
Takeaway:
- If stories are not shared, they will be lost forever
- Everything we know - labels, stereotypes, astrology, even science - that is all human conjecture
- Our everyday action will determine if we progress or regress as a society
