Colonialism! Hip-hop! Appropriation! It’s a bit of all of the above
in this episode. Ahmed talks to Mona Haydar about the
video for her song Hijabi, what it means for a
Syrian-American to rap, and dealing with microaggressions. Then,
Ahmed plays a game of “Did the English Steal This Word From Your
People?” with real-life meme, college freshman, and artist of
bitterness Kiren Rizvi.
