I just started listening to this podcast, and I dig it, but I kind of take issue with this episode. Not because of the take on racial issues, but because of the take on kink, which seemed pretty resoundingly negative. Lots of people are into all sorts of kinky crap: calling each other names, spanking, being tied up, dressing up in costumes, etc... and that's just the relatively tame stuff. There's an increasing body of evidence that being into kink isn't inherently unhealthy, and may even correspond to better mental health. So, I don't think you can just casually assume that someone is unhealthy, or even being unreasonable, for asking their partner to humiliate them. There may still be questions about whether using racist language is healthy as a form of humiliation, but I think folks are painting with too broad a brush.
