Jeff Chang visits East Palo Alto, a historically Black and Latino community in the heart of Silicon Valley, to hang out with rapper, dancer and performer Isaiah Phillips a.k.a. Randy McPhly, who appeared in Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" video. They talk about the domino effects of gentrification and displacement, resegregating an area where the rents have been rising dramatically and people of color feel like they're not part of the future.

Jeff Chang visits Berkeley and Harvard to uncover how Asian Americans have shaped discussions about diversity and discrimination in colleges, and are now playing a central role in the future of racial justice. Will they choose to resegregate or desegregate America?

Americans are often taught to think in binaries, this or that, black or white. We Gon' Be Alright explores those "in-betweeners" who feel the effects of blatant racism and microaggressions, stereotyping, gentrification, and of being in between two worlds, not by choice but by design. The flaws of the census box are reflected in the stories of people like Rafael Casal, actor who starred in the film Blindspotting and who defines himself as a white Latino, and organizer/activist Linda Sarsour, who exists in an interesting space as both a woman of faith and a progressive, and as a Muslim American woman who is labeled by the census as "white."
