In today's episode Guilaine reflects on some questions and queries that people of colour, particularly Black people experience, in relation to their “racial” lineage and heritage. How these function as racist micro-aggressions and in particular the relationship between what is being asked, the histories of colonialism, and the power structures of White Supremacy.

She focuses on one of the most familiar micro-aggressive questions, “Where are you really from?” and it's more subtle forms, and then explores queries about the specifics of Black people’s family history regarding whether they are “mixed”, through the lens of colonial violence and rape in within the African continent and the islands of the Caribbean.
