Ep103: I Am Canadian Part 2, with Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman
Manage episode 290180651 series 2912480
“Research actually demonstrates that the two most targeted groups or communities in Canada that face discrimination are Muslims and Indigenous people. Polls in the United States have found that…even communities of colour, including Black people and Latino people…have negative views of Muslims or have Islamophobia.”
Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman, a psychologist specializing in diversity and inclusion, shares more about his personal experiences with religious discrimination, and his ideas for real allyship and change. We also chat about a surprising difference between Americans and Canadians; Colourism (even among People of Colour); and how we can be more relatable and likeable.
You’ll hear about:
- [00:04:14] Religious discrimination and stat holidays
- [00:11:25] The “I don’t celebrate Christmas” experiment
- [00:18:17] U.S. versus Canada
- [00:23:45] Colourism and wanting to be White
- [00:27:22] How to be a good ally (and a more likeable human being)
- [00:34:39] How White people exotify People of Colour (and their lunches!)
And...I (awkwardly) try to pronounce Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman’s name correctly. Thanks for your graciousness, Rehman!
