In this episode, Jordan and Philip discuss:
- What is it like to grow up in a multicultural environment?
- Why people are uncomfortable with topics around race
- Inviting people to have open conversations
Key Takeaways
- A multicultural environment contributes a lot to your world view and perspective in life in regards to relating to other people.
- Being able to be open with someone when it comes to topics regarding race and class is related to trust and how safe someone feels with somebody else. People these days are wary of each other because people grew up separately from each other.
- Invite people and ask them if they would like to participate in discussion. Offer a safe space for them. These days, it's important that we welcome people to have these kinds of conversations and extend it to the future.
“This is a country that is full of people from different places, with different ideas, different religions, different mores, but we have to get along. The fact that we're all underneath a rule of law and a Constitution changes how we have to feel about each other.” — Philip Jack
