Facing race in AmericaAbout Chino Y Chicano
Chino y Chicano is a podcast with a mission to dish on the good, the bad, and the ugly of what people of color face in America. Hosted by veteran journalist Enrique Cerna, the show features guests who explore the complexities of race. Take a listen to the episodes here.
The Chino y Chicano podcast launched in 2022 with co-hosts Matt Chan, “The Chino,” and Enrique Cerna, “The Chicano.” Both spent their careers in television. Chan created the cable series "Hoarders," while Cerna worked as a Seattle broadcast journalist for 43 years. After Chan died on March 30, 2024, following a battle with kidney cancer, Cerna committed to continuing the podcast in his honor.
Stacey Fitzpatrick’s husband left for work in West Seattle, but he never came home. On Chino y Chicano, Fitzpatrick tells Enrique Cerna how her husband, Eduardo Aguirre, was arrested by ICE and quickly transferred to an out-of-state detention center. She opens up about the fight to bring him home and explains why she believes his case is a warning about immigration enforcement, due process, and the state of American democracy.
