Description
In this week's episode, we discuss the Jussie Smollett ordeal, minority group victims and the detrimental effects of lying about abuse.
We revisit the theme of racism/stereotyping in TV shows in the early 2000s to the present day. Where do we draw the line with 'jokes' in comedy? We discuss 'Arrested Development', 'Little Britian', 'Ja'mie Private School' and a few others. When we have grown up consuming these problematic representations of people, how does this reflect in our society?
Presented by Hannah Rose, Karyan Au-Yeung and Estelle Uba
