Episode 8: Black History Month Edition Featuring Blasians on Television

invASIANtv popcast

We know this release is at the close of Black History Month, but we wanted to do an episode dedicated to Black Asians we've seen on TV. Turns out while there are Blasian actors out there, there are very few of them playing actual Black AND Asian characters on television. Are we surprised? Of course not. In this episode, we take a huge dump on white supremacy (DUH), discuss who we believe is the first portrayal of a Blasian character on American television, and question why do people dismiss biracial peoples' identity when it is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS? Yes, this is the energy we are bringing to this episode.

On this week's episode we focus on the following actors/characters/shows:

Alisa Gyse Dickens as Kinu Owens on A Different World, Karrueche Tran as Virginia Loc on Claws, and Charles Michael Davis as his fine self.
