Sadia Azmat and Monty Onanuga live in London but neither of them « look » British. Rokhaya Diallo and Grace Ly welcome the podcasters of No Country For Young Women (BBC Sounds) for a special episode. How different is it to be a non-white person in France and in the UK ? Are Paris and London mixed and diverse cities ? How do Sadia, Monty, Rokhaya and Grace deal with their identities ? And most importantly, why do these conversations matter ?  For an hour, they talk about first names, life at work, burqa ban, (not so) cute French men, public spaces, colonial history and how to survive as a woman of colour in both countries. This episode was recorded live at the 2019 Paris Podcast Festival.BACKGROUND READING AND LISTENINGIn 2017, the New York Times published an editorial about how « France Fails to Face Up to Racism ». Two years later, Mediapart publishing editor Edwy Plenel says that the persistence of the systemic, social and cultural racism endured in France is a sign of how France has ignored the issue of colonialism.
