I'm joined by Xavier Thompson for a great discussion centered on the N-word. We discuss whether lifting the taboo on saying it in specific contexts would be helpful or harmful. Tied in to our discussion about race, we touch on PC culture and its effects, both positive and negative, on society writ large. Our discussion is in part informed by a podcast discussion between Glenn Loury and John McWhorter which is linked to below.
