香蕉视频直播淚t was neat to see policing from a visible minority perspective, with the focus on a South Asian police officer and her experiences,香蕉视频直播� Dosanjh said.
香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 a cultural diaspora element to it as well, because she香蕉视频直播檚 trying to balance eastern and western cultural values at the same time, which was exactly my experience. I came from a very traditional Sikh family, and when I first got on the job I was full Sikh, with a turban, and it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 an easy experience, being on the street and dealing with suspects making racial insinuations, a lot of discrimination and prejudice.
香蕉视频直播淚 share a lot of those story elements in my own life, what (Sabrina) is going through in the show. I saw a lot of myself in her, just what she has to deal with on the job and in her life.香蕉视频直播�
