BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Mixed-race babies

Is it a big deal to have a mixed-race baby if you’re Asian?

Is it a big deal to have a mixed race baby if you’re Asian? Qasa is asking this after the Duchess of Sussex gave birth to a boy - the first mixed-race member of the Royal Family in centuries. Would there be as much acceptance in our community? After that we hear from Sheetal Mistry, one of the co-founders of the Brown Girls Book Club. It’s been set-up to encourage women to read books by Asian authors and is now heading to the Tara Arts Theatre. Then Qasa speaks to Fadi Itani from The Muslim Charities Forum – an organisation that wants to help people choose who they donate money to. Plus, this week’s Big Debate’s Little Debate comes from husband and wife ‘Raj’ and ‘Sonia’, who want to talk about the lack of Asian sperm and egg donors.
