Episode 58: Decoding the Code Switch

In their new episode, Keesa and Djevna talk all things from healthcare and politics to Nicki Minaj and scholarships. They discuss Betsy’s spellcheck faux pas on her quest to be besties with HBCUs, one lawyer’s take on the scary new “stealthing” subculture and the exhaustive list of preexisting conditions that fall outside the Healthcare Reform Act that has since made it to the Senate. In this week’s 360 topic, “Decoding the Code Switch” (33:50), they unpack one girl’s viral yearbook quote and what it means to code switch. Do you believe that people can “talk white”? Is it right to assign racial identity based on vernacular? What does it mean if minorities feel like they need to code switch to succeed professionally?
