Chinese Chippy Girl

Hello! In this episode, we speak with Siu Kee. A BBC (British born Chinese) who grew up in Glasgow/Barnsley. Also a fellow takeaway kid! I feel he ticks all the boxes for Asian golden child. Academic, a lawyer and the only son in his family. Sounds good on paper right? But tune in to this episode as we hear from Siu Kee on his identity issues and speaking openly about his sexuality.

In this episode, the legendary takeaway owner from Jade Park joins us for this episode. Jade (or should I say James) went from working in IT to running his own takeaway. He's also the Co-Founder of 'Asians in the UK' on Clubhouse every Monday at 8pm. A room where they have built a community on ESEA people and allies to come together and talk about important topics such as hate crime on Asians. A very honest conversation where I admitted to some mistakes on internalised racism and why I am unlearning and relearning.
I also share my thoughts on the mass shootings that have happened in Atlanta, America and why we should be more careful on using the words 'massage parlour'.
Please give Jade Park a follow: https://www.instagram.com/jvdepvrk and if you're in Moreton, Wirral, definitely place an order with them.

BLM (aka Black Lives Matter), one of the most talked about topic this year. As part of this movement, a huge campaign called Blackout Tuesday was created on Tuesday 02 June where 28 million people across the world posted a black square ⬛️ within 48 hours to support the BLM movement. And to talk about this topic, I bring my friend Wendy (thanks babe) onto my show to talk about her point of view as a black woman, born and raised in Paris and now living in London with her partner Aky (hi Aky).
We hear from Wendy on her views on whether Blackout Tuesday created an impact - or was it just a trend? So if you're one of the 28 million (or more) who posted a black square in June, this one's for you!
Wendy and I also discuss our lives growing up as a minority and some of the allyship between blacks and asians. How Yellow Peril came about in the US and how it was repurposed to support the Black Panther Group in the 60's. Also, in the UK, I discuss the Grunwick Strike (a company that owned Tripleprint, Doubleprint and Bonusprint (blast from the past) where 80% of the workforce were Asian and getting paid 60% less than the UK average and working in poor conditions.
Do you have any feedback on this episode? You can find me on insta https://www.instagram.com/chinesechippygirl/ or email me [email protected]. And feel free to send Wendy some love https://www.instagram.com/wen_dydylyns/. We'd love to hear from you.

I received my first hate messages online for being in an interracial relationship. I reported this to Instagram and to the police who have done nothing about it and advised me to block/ignore the user. Out of frustration and disappointment, I decided to change my podcast schedule around and speak about what had happened in this episode. Hate crime on ESEA has increased by 300% in the UK since the coronavirus and we need to speak out about it and encourage organisations such as Facebook (who own Instagram), the police and the government to make changes. Please check out these pages if you want more information and/or would like to support the ESEA community. Thanks for tuning in :))
