MK310: Racism in UK Football & Penis Rockets (Colorism in Teen Dramas, Loki, Fast 9, History of racism in European Soccer/Football, Jeff Bezos Penis Rocket)

Minority Korner

Like Loki, MacKenzie Green is BACK! We talk Loki, the MCU, and why does James’ friends keep spoiling these shows for him!? We love our new generation of teen dramas from HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot, to Never Have I Ever, and Genera+ion but as Refiniery 29 points out, do all of these groundbreaking shows have a colorism issue? In the main Korner we James leads us through a deep dive surrounding the wave of racism in UK football, but is this nothing new for European football, especially for colonizing countries, and has social media exacerbated the problem? Anti-Blackness is a global phenomenon. MacKenzie abandons her original korner because we need to talk about Jeff Bezos and his penis rocket.
