Being British East Asian: Sex, Beauty & Bodies - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Sex
Elaine Chong lifts the lid on how many British East Asians feel, caught between cultures of West and East. In this episode, she looks at love and sex.
Beauty
Across East Asia an extremely strict formula for beauty is emerging: pale skin, big eyes and a razor-sharp v-shaped jawline. Some people say it's to look ‘more Western', but is that true?
Bodies
Food can often be a way for British East Asians to communicate with their family and heritage, but the pressure to lose weight often exists at odds with this. Elaine meets up with Singaporean pop star Ming Bridges and comedian Evelyn Mok, to discuss this strained and often unhealthy relationship with food. How can a few leaves of cabbage and a handful of nuts make up a whole day's food? And why has watching videos of other people gorging on food online become so popular?
