Guest Nate Tribble joins John, Peggy and Jim for a freewheeling conversation centered on problematic depictions of race and ethnicity in popular culture.
The point of departure for the conversation is the 1942 film Holiday Inn which featured the music of Irving Berlin(including the world premiere of the song "White Christmas"), the singing of Bing Crosby, the dancing of Fred Astaire - and an unfortunate blackface performance in "tribute" to Abraham Lincoln. This episode of our podcast was inspired by an episode of Karina Longworth's podcast "You Must Remember This."
