S2 | SS13: Is it Racist? Racist phrases, Missing White Woman Syndrome, and Replacement Theory.
Sensitive Content Warning: Gabby Petito discussion from 24:45 to 47:15.
Here we are again with another late night, smooth jazz recording to bring you a ripped from the headlines, kinda from the hip, discussion session. This time we’re taking some headline news and asking the question, “Is it racist?” We cover the racist origins of some common phrases, Missing White Woman Syndrome, and the Great Replacement, and we try to determine whether or not it’s accurate to attribute racial bias, animus, or insensitivity to them.
As a reminder, these episodes are pretty top level. Sometimes we cover more than one topic, we don’t have super detailed show notes, and often we heavily paraphrase our sources. The goal is to make sure we’re covering timely topics as well as those we have time to dig down into. But, as usual, you'll find everything we pulled from in our shownotes.
