How Does the World See YOU?
"Chinese are not the same as Japanese, are not the same as Koreans, Filipinos, or Thai, or Indians..." We talked with people from a variety of Asian cultures about how they think the world sees them.
There has been a lot of talk in the media recently ABOUT Arabs. So, we wanted to talk WITH Arabs about how they feel people see them and how they see themselves.
"We're not a cookie-cutter version of what Hollywood or the media projects about what we look like... " Have you ever been told you don't look like the culture you come from?
How does the world see YOU? Do you feel defined by your skin color, gender, or maybe even your religion?
