Hyphenated Lives

For H*20, Chuks and Kari kick the episode off with a quick bit on the Donald Sterling race row before discussing the American media’s coverage of the South Korean ferry tragedy. Not content with reporting the tragedy as is, “Western” media has indulged in some major racism and whitewashing of history. We also answer asks from palidosauria about high school exchange programs, acrylic-afternoons about Laverne Cox and Lupita Nyong’o’s omission from TIME’s 100 Most Influential list despite their high approval ratings on Time’s online poll, and an anonymous asked about LGBTQ* spaces in Africa.
