Chino Y Chicano
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.
In this episode of Chino y Chicano, Enrique Cerna speaks with journalist and South Seattle Emerald founder Marcus Harrison Green about his reporting trip to Minneapolis, where a community shaped by the killing of George Floyd is confronting a new national flashpoint. After a 2026 immigration crackdown turned deadly, the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents have sparked legal battles and demands for accountability. Marcus explores how Minneapolis’ history of grief, activism, and resistance is shaping its response now — and what the rest of the country can learn from it. Interview recorded on Feb. 24, 2026.
