[Episode 141 — The Racist Label]

Muslim = Not White in this racist-ass country of ours ugh.

McVeigh is a tricky example to use with terrorism-related stuff because he was pre-9/11.

Hari Kondabolu has a great bit about this.

[Episode 120 — All American]

The phrase "All American" comes from college and high school sports, especially football. Applied to girls then it's like the head cheerleader/quarterback's girlfriend. And since it's from the 50s and earlier before widespread racial integration in schools, it came to mean athletic blonde kids from Ohio or wherever.

[Episode 108 — Running Through Marriages In Thailand]

The racism about white guys moving to poor Asian countries for sex/marriage tourism is on the big level of inequality between Europe/America and the rest of the world. A middle class white dude in Asia has a much easier time romantically (and in general) than a middle class Asian dude in America, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that white people basically colonized the rest of the world on that British empire shit, and still sort of do with economic power (all the Made in Thailand/China/Taiwan/etc labels you see on manufactured goods here). Whether the guys moving to Asia to get married are doing it for personal racist reasons is one thing, but they're still benefitting pretty much directly from historical systemic racism.

[Episode 106 — Racist Against White People]

Is Daniel Inouye or Daniel Akaka white for the purposes of this argument?

Inouye's dead and Akaka's retired.
