BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Nihal Arthanayake

Are Asian women with dark skin made to feel bad about themselves? We're asking this after British black singer Ray BLK was told to give up on her dream to become a singer because of her skin colour. Continuing coverage of the BBC's Brexit week, which marks six months until Britain leaves the EU, we discuss whether Brexit will change people's identities. Nihal hears from Kiran Kaur, a Scottish Asian, Robina Qureshi, who says she has a strong European identity and Aziz Rahman, who identifies as British Asian, about this. Plus we're joined by British Asian rapper TaZzZ who has become a father for the first time. He recently put up a viral post on Instagram talking about his struggles.
