Nikesh Shukla and Darren Chetty talk about racism, names, family and why you probably shouldn't ask someone where they're really, really from. Read The Good Immigrant: http://po.st/ReadTheGoodImmigrant or listen to the audiobook: http://po.st/TheGoodImmigrantAudio

// About the book:
Bringing together 21 exciting black, Asian and minority ethnic voices emerging in Britain today, The Good Immigrant explores why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay and what it means to be ‘other’ in a country that doesn’t seem to want you, doesn’t truly accept you – however many generations you’ve been here – but still needs you for its diversity monitoring forms.
