Manage episode 424691874 series 3409221
Provocative and thought-provoking, the episode promises a thorough dissection of the Supreme Court's recent ruling against race-based college admissions. We break down the case of an Asian American student with a flawless academic record who was turned down by Ivy League schools and MIT despite his merits, as we question the fairness of such decisions. We also broach the contentious topic of lowered physical standards for female minorities in New York's firefighting and police departments, potentially jeopardizing public safety.
Moving on from academia, we plunge headfirst into the murky waters of racial politics. We scrutinize Mayor Adam's eyebrow-raising comparison of an elderly white woman questioning rising rents to a slave owner. The episode does not shy away from the hard-hitting issues, delving into the left's perceived obsession with finding racism in every nook and cranny. We also touch on a surprising tidbit about former President Donald Trump's ancestry, and discuss the latest Indiana Jones movie. The episode wraps up with a retrospective look at Greta Thunberg's activism and its impact on our world.
