  • The Unequal Equation
    Jun 14 2023

    In this episode, we explore the concepts of privilege and bias. We talk about how these things can affect our lives, and how they can lead to unfairness. We also talk about how we can challenge these things and create a more just world.

    Privilege is a set of advantages that people have based on their race, gender, social class, or other factors. Bias is a prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

    Privilege and bias can lead to unfairness in many ways. For example, people with privilege may not have to face the same challenges as people without privilege. They may also have more opportunities and resources available to them. Bias can lead to people being treated differently, even if they are not doing anything wrong.

    It is important to be aware of privilege and bias. We can challenge these things by talking about them, educating ourselves, and calling out unfair behavior when we see it. We can also work to create a more just world by supporting policies and programs that help to level the playing field.

  • It’s Not Banter, It’s Hurtful
    Jun 14 2023

    In this episode, we explore the issue of racism and hurtful things that can be said in the name of banter, laughs, and jokes.

    Racism and hurtful things can be very harmful, even if they are said in jest. They can make people feel excluded, marginalized, and even unsafe. It's important to be aware of the impact of these things, and to speak up when we see them happening.
