Racism as a Human Ranking System

About this episode

This episode examines racism as a systemic ranking mechanism that influences trust and protection in society.

This episode looks at racism not as hate, but as a system. A system built to rank people, decide who is trusted, who is protected, and who is allowed to wait. From hospitals to schools, from courtrooms to everyday life, this episode traces how humanity became conditional—and how that ranking still shapes whose pain is believed and whose is questioned. Hosted by Sadeq Saudi. "Who Gets to Be Human?" is a podcast about power, humanity, and who gets believed. Quiet stories. Uncomfortable questions. Who gets to be human?
