On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… Racism Lite.
Racial politics is responsible for a lot of ugliness, in the United States and around the world. Humans want, and even need, to sort themselves into categories — and sometimes, that tribalism yields as much good as it can bad. So do we always need to be a melting pot?
Writer Damon Young joins us to make the case that we’re all racist, and there’s no reason to pretend otherwise.
