What it’s like to be young and biracial in America today?
Episode 15
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026

Kendrick Lamar has taken aim at his rival Drake’s biracial identity. President Trump did the same against his rival former Vice President Kamala Harris. Bridging identities and cultures has been part of the Black experience for centuries, so what’s it like for a generation moving into adulthood? Paris Alston talks culture, Frederick Douglass, and the end of racism with two twenty-somethings navigating biracial backgrounds in a supposedly post-racial America.
