Welcome to But Where Are You From?... A podcast by a late 20-something millennial learning about life as a British Born Chinese. I’m Viv, the host of the podcast. I talk about life as a British Born Chinese (BBC); from family life, to work, dating, relationships, food, racism, and general culture. In this week’s episode I address the recent email exchange I had with the Guardian over changing another image depicting East Asians when discussing Coronavirus. See my Instagram post and highlight 'No to racism' for the full story. There are some classic How Asian are You questions submitted by Elsa Lee who has an amazing food blog. I also address the support I received for the toxic relationship episode (you can listen here) and how it actually wasn’t well received by people who tried to guilt & shame me for speaking up about my truth. I talk about what I look for in dating (spoiler, it’s an extensive list), and it goes way beyond looks. Sign the petition for media outlets such as The BBC & The Guardian & the UK Government to stop depicting East Asian people in Coronavirus related media Keep the conversation going and Join But Where Are You From Podcast Facebook Group Follow Tanisha’s podcast page A Side of Rice Myers Briggs Personality Type Test Dating podcasts I listen to: Why Won’t You Date Me by Nicole Byer The Girl’s Bathroom by Sophia & Cinzia Modern Love Slide into my DMs and keep the conversation going! @itsvivyau Jingle by the talented John Clapper
