White (Other): Anti-Eastern European prejudice

White (Other): Anti-Eastern European prejudice

Author: Deborah Frances-White November 3, 2022 Duration: 29:44
Media Storm’s latest investigation looks at a new, post-Brexit era of exploitation targeting Central and Eastern Europeans in the UK. Today’s bonus episode looks at the attitudes behind this exploitation, and asks why a workforce who have proven invaluable were dismissed as undesirable “low-skilled” workers. Is it just a question of economics, or is it a question of prejudice? This bonus episode from The Guilty Feminist and Media Storm looks at the role of pop culture, class, geopolitics and history in shaping misconceptions and creating simplistic stereotypes of diverse cultural identities. The episode is hosted by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

It’s a common feeling: the desire to stand firmly for equality while also catching yourself in moments that don’t quite live up to that ideal. The Guilty Feminist tackles that very human contradiction head-on, with humor and honesty. Hosted by comedian and Writers’ Guild Award winner Deborah Frances-White, this live-audience podcast creates a space where the grand ambitions of modern feminism meet the messy, sometimes hilarious realities of everyday life. Each episode features conversations with guests where they explore not just the principles they champion, but the personal hypocrisies and insecurities that can trip them up. The result is a comedy podcast that feels more like a candid conversation among friends-one where laughter is just as important as the lesson. You’ll hear discussions that are both thought-provoking and genuinely funny, all rooted in the understanding that trying to be better is a process, not a perfect performance. Deborah Frances-White guides these explorations with wit and warmth, making complex topics accessible and relatable. Tuning in means joining a community that doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but is committed to asking the right questions, together.
