ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this fiery episode, Jiao Li reads Chapter 2A: Roast of the Old World—an unapologetic takedown of Eurocentrism, fake multilingualism, Orientalist microaggressions, and the European Union’s gated multicultural fantasy.
If you’ve ever said “I speak French, German, and Italian” like it’s a cultural flex—you might want to brace yourself.
Part comedy, part critique, and entirely personal, this chapter asks: What does it mean to be diasporic in a world that keeps rewarding the colonisers for knowing their neighbours’ languages?
