BBC Asian Network's Big Debate: Your partner’s height

Your partner’s height

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Your partner’s height

Do you care what height your partner is? Qasa is asking this after a video of a man went viral on Twitter because of a rant in a bagel shop. The man, from New York, said women troll him on dating sites because he is only 5ft tall and he is tired of being “judged for being too short”. After that we hear from Krishna Istha who wants to challenge stereotypes of transsexual people through the performance of comedy act ‘Beast’. It’s hoped it will change perceptions that transsexual people cannot have a masculine personality. Then we hear from those behind a new podcast called ‘Scotistan’. Producer Kauser Quamer and actors Taqi Naseer , Atta Yaqub and Paul Chahal join Qasa to tell us what it’s really like to be an Asian living in Scotland. Plus, we speak to some of the winners from the Fusion Awards, which highlights the pioneering work of volunteers, charity workers and entrepreneurs throughout the North West of England.
