This week's show is a reflection on the events this past week with the death of George Floyd and the worldwide condemnation that has followed it. However, are the British Asian community showing the adequate support to the Black community during this time? We look at the anti-Black sentiment shown by many members of our community and what we as a collective need to do to stop it.

A new week... A new episode of The Native Immigrants. They go together like a horse and carriage. This week we look at Mixed-Race Relationships with the Black and Asian Community. With 'The Lovebirds' being one of the few instances of a Black and South Asian couple depicted on screen, we ask whether the previous taboos of mixed-race relationships are finally in the past, or does the pre-existing prejudice still run today. We speak to Rena of The Sisterhood Of MummyImperfect podcast to talk about her experiences, and also one of our hosts shares theirs for the first time! We also mention the South Asian Literary Festival, the Blindian Project and Saurav Dutt's Dear Mr Bachchan! Special thanks to our brudda Zaheer for providing this season's brand new theme music!

After a two week break, we're back with a new episode of The Native Immigrants, and after some amazing guests for the past two shows, we're back to tackling the hot 'topics of agenda'! This week we look at Representation on TV for the British Asian Community. With 'Never Have I Ever' recently released on Netflix causing controversy amongst our communities here, we look at how we as British Asians want to be represented on television, and if representation does indeed need to represent our communities.
