Drew and Daniel realised that these could be perceived as troubling times, finding identity amidst angst about race, mixed race, duel heritage, the vast array of descriptions we have developed for not offending every category of racial background is confusing. Fitting in is important and things don’t always go to plan. Members of our family, unbeknownst to us, were having their own identity crisis with regards to exactly where they fitted in. Too dark? Too light? Too mixed to have a voice, we decided to push the very thin boundaries and explore a topic we were either too unaware of or more than likely too embarrassed to talk about, for whatever stupid reason. Racism has been around in society for as long as we can remember and it has obviously touched us personally and also members of our family, subliminally or not, in such a way that it has become a part of who we are- that we never really thought about digging deeper to find out how it really affected us. Being of mixed heritage made it all the more confusing and found us struggling for acceptance. This isn’t an unusual story, it’s just our story and our take on a topic that has influenced our very existence This podcast is really about giving a voice to those people of mixed heritage – initially within our own family, whose racial background is not always obvious due to their pale skin colour and have found themselves to be at the centre of a personal racial dilemma, and at times having to prove their ethnic credentials in order to be heard.
