Episode 179 — Racist Caricatures In Sci-Fi
AndyPacheco-Fores replied to JulyDiaz's topic in Yo, Is This Racist?
Listen yall, it's totally obvious that most scifi has white people as the human good guys and aliens tend to be broadly drawn & essentialized, with those traits often taken from fucked up racial/ethnic/national/cultural/etc stereotypes. For every great piece that departs from that or subverts it, there are a fuckton of others that embrace it like nbd, often without even realizing how racist it is. The same shit happens with fantasy and monster-horror. Racism is the standard. This is especially the case in the Big Money Entertainment parts of scifi that non-scifi-heads are more aware of--movies, television, and gaming. If yall are such big scifi fans you should be even angrier about this than we are and try harder to change that standard. -

Belial is one of the Biblical names of the devil/a demon. The Hebrew word literally means worthless or good for nothing. -
Ugh Wacklemore The Seinfeld webseries episode with Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks made me straight up weep from how adorable those two's friendship is. The only thing about Miley Cyrus I hate is that she clearly thinks she's really good at twerking.

Whoa chill out now Cracky no need to go around throwing accusations! Why can't white people ever just have a calm, respectful, civilized discussion about race? You'll never get anywhere in life if you complain about how racist everyone is against you all the time, boy. -
Episode 181 — Waiters & Chopsticks
AndyPacheco-Fores replied to JulyDiaz's topic in Yo, Is This Racist?
So they referenced your race = they're racist against you because you're white? Maybe that was just the easiest way to identify you, particularly if you were the only one there. Geez, white people always think everyone's being racist against them. And "wasn't hurt that bad and didn't want to waste my vacation talking to cops" kinda makes it sound like a passing inconvenience just sayin -
Episode 181 — Waiters & Chopsticks
AndyPacheco-Fores replied to JulyDiaz's topic in Yo, Is This Racist?
I'm curious, Cracky, why do you think your race was the reason you got sucker punched? Did the guy who punched you say "I'm punching you because you're white and I'm racist against white people" or are you just assuming that was his motivation? And did you alert the authorities? Did they take your claim seriously? Did the guy who punched you face consequences? Think any other black guys in the area got stopped and harassed because they "matched the description"? What did the other people in the theater do? -

Everyone knows that white men have been systematically sucker punched in all-black movie theaters for centuries. Who will stand up for these voiceless victims? -

Episode 85.5 — Bonus Cut: Yo, Is "Yo, Is This Racist?" Racist?

"Alright. Uh, my segment here called 'Yo, is "Yo, is This Racist?" Racist?' I declare: yes." "It's his [Andrew Ti the host's] responsibility to go, 'Hey, don't you think this generalization you're making about Arkansans and people from Chicago and Detroit is as racist as any other racist kinda statement,' isn't that the most obvious thing to say?" -
PoopTarts! Even via text, Blaine steals the show.

Context, which includes the history of the word and how other people use it, ultimately matters a lot more than the intent of the person saying it with slurs and that sort of thing. Rick Crom explains why in this clip at 6:21 better than I can: Different word, but comparable. -

Went back and listened to the entire YITR episode--the woman's name is Joselyn Hughes. She started out in Chicago, trained at Second City and, somewhat ironically, UCB. She was definitely too easy on the writers (probably didn't want to condemn people in the industry she's trying to move up in) but it's not like she was so wrong about the broad American audience. Also probably worth pointing out that Andrew Ti is from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I think Besser and Walsh were just mad because it got personal for them--look at how fast Walsh mentioned his own grandfather for instance. -
