December 12, 2019 by Aj Muonagolu

It doesn’t matter if you are Black or White.

‘Ethnic’ Food is Not a Trend

April 9, 2018 by Michaela Meyer

Art by Peau Porotesano In case you missed it, Filipino food is going to be the next big food trend. At least according to the headlines of countless magazine articles. “I predict, two years from now, Filipino food will be what we will have been talking about for six months … I think that’s going […]

Students Reflect on the Use of Racial Microaggressions on Campus

December 2, 2017 by Jennevieve Fong

Photo by Kayla Lee “What are you?” “Where are you really from?” “You don’t act like a normal Black person.” “You don’t look like you speak Spanish.” “I never think of you as a real Asian.” These statements capture a more subtle form of racism. Known as microaggressions, these phrases are everyday verbal snubs or […]

From Two Worlds, De Dos Mundos

December 2, 2017 by Jenna Aguilera

Photos by Jenna Aguilera English: I am White. My skin is pale most of the year, and I’ve had more than a few remarks on my “Valley Girl accent.” I’ve had friends count how many times I use the word “like,” and I visit Starbucks on the regular. Half of my wardrobe could be considered […]

America: Don’t be Ashamed of Your Ethnic Roots

November 13, 2015 by Natassja Ruybal

Art by Christine Nelson My first day at Pepperdine culturally shocked me. I finally understood what people meant by the expression of the American “melting pot” and how different cultures have melted into creating a single American culture. I clearly remember an ethnically Chinese student sitting next to me in COM 180, speaking in a […]

Live in the Gray

September 19, 2015 by Rachel Littauer

This week in class, my communication professor asked the question, “Is media a product of culture, or is culture a product of media?” Hands shot up left and right as students with well-formed opinions debated each side of the argument back and forth. Watching this debate, I wondered if matters are actually that simple. Why […]

Asian Food: Dishing out the Honesty

September 11, 2015 by Justina Huang

Art by Christine Nelson My father devoted his entire working career to being a food engineer. He grew up in an impoverished village in Taiwan, splitting a salted egg with seven other family members over bowls of diluted rice. After he immigrated to Massachusetts and earned his PhD in food science, he devoted his time […]

On Being White

November 30, 2014 by Nate Barton

The reason nobody writes about being a straight, rich and white male is shame — the irreparable reputation of colonialism, slavery and mass warfare. As a demographic we have quite the resume, including such terrible chapters as the Holocaust and Jim Crow fitted with the discovery of e=mc2, capitalism and the mocha Frappuccino. I, myself, […]
