Episode 20: When Keeping It White Goes Wrong - a podcast by the get.

Author and fellow Yalie RJ Hernandez joins Ivy and Rhiana to discuss his book An Innocent Fashion, the story of a young Latino man from Texas who makes it in the Ivy League, then suffers from depression while successfully passing for white in the New York fashion industry. Vanity Fair has compared it to "The Devil Wears Prada"; we think it's more akin to Nella Larsen’s "Passing."
