Mike asks Steven the ridiculous question (3:10) and Steven, like the rest of us, is stuck between worlds. Not so much in London (5:40), though a cosmopolitan city. Steven talks about his transition to Plymouth, a town that was at the time, 99% white. He discusses too how he met his non-TCK spouse and a bit of their journey assimilating together (8:40) in Plymouth. Mike has a compliment for people like her who manage the transition (9:26) well. Mike asks more about the racial disparity in Plymouth and the impact that had on them (11:10) when they first moved there. Steven discusses the details and after 2 or 3 years how things began to change. Mike talks about his upcoming book (of course!), and (16:00) asks Steven what we should do in response to racism and polarization. His answer may suprise you. He tells a humorous altercation at birthday party that spells out some of the cultural divides that existed (16:40). Mike has a few stories as well, reflecting on the diversity of honor culture in various places.
