Welcome to Everything is Racist, and yes we mean that. Everything IS racist. You either: don’t care, don’t know, or don’t want to give up the privileges racism gives you.
Brought to you by two cousins who decided to record their conversations on racism and discrimination and share it with the world.
This is a podcast by 2 cousins that decided to record our conversations on racism and discrimination and share it with the world.
In this third episode - recorded at the end of 2020 - we discuss one of our favorite topics: FOOD! But even in great things like food, unfortunately, racism likes to rear its ugly head. We discuss how school cafeterias can be cesspools for racism, what food deserts are, why you SHOULD put MSG in your food, the horrible history of tipping, and why older Black folks like butter pecan ice cream so much.

Everything is Racist : Episode 2 - The U.S. Elections
This is a podcast by 2 cousins that decided to record our conversations on racism and discrimination and share it with the world.
In this second episode, we discuss the nail-biting, jaw-clenching 2020 U.S. Elections. A lot has taken place since then (it's January 2021...), but we want to discuss the history of elections, the electoral college, and election processes and examine their ties to racism. Because...everything, including elections, is racist!
