'White Privilege'

What do you think 'white privilege' is? Nihal is asking this after actor Lawrence Fox clashed with an audience member on the BBC’s Question Time over whether press treatment of Meghan Markle was racist. He said there isn't a problem with racism in this country but was accused of being a “white privileged male”. Then we’ll be joined by Meera Naran to talk about the impact grief can have and why she thinks more support is needed to help others overcome emotionally challenging times. Her 8-year-old son, Dev, died in a road traffic accident after saying goodbye to his brother who was critically ill in hospital. After that we’ll be joined by the BBC Asian Network’s Rahil Sheikh who has written an article about veganism in British Muslim communities. We’ll also hear from vegan blogger Sumaya, who hid her choice to become a vegan from her family because she was worried about their reaction because of religion. Plus, Nihal is joined by R&B artist RVHEEM who has made it on to Asian Network’s Future Sounds – a list that features 10 artists who are tipped for big things in 2020.
