Racism, Sexism, and Jar Jar Binks: With Ahmed Best

On this episode, Ahmed Best and I continue our discussion about Star Wars. We talk about how the backlash Ahmed experienced is both similar and different to what Loan Tran (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/movies/kelly-marie-tran.html)(originally known to audiences as Kelly Marie Tran) experienced with The Last Jedi. We also talk about how excited we are for Andrew Gillum's campaign (https://splash.andrewgillum.com/?ref=https://andrewgillum.com/)for Governor in Florida and how we believe displaced Puerto Ricans might save us all. We love our Puerto Rican sisters and brothers!
We get enthusiasm from Kristi Lee of Canadian True Crime Podcast (https://canadiantruecrime.ca/). Please send voice memos or emails about the things you're enthusiastic about to [e-mail]. We want to hear from you!!
