Description

Come out and learn about how "whiteness" existed in Asia historically and how it has developed to what it is today, in Asia and America. This event will be a round table discussion, where all UMBC members are welcome. 

Join us as we talk about how historical class and caste systems are related to Bollywood and Kpop today. As well as how, historical thought processes of beauty are still prevalent. We will have a presentation with details and examples to guide our discussion. 

Pizza and refreshments will be served at this event, so come out and grab a slice with us. Hope to see you there.
