“Before I write my review, I’m a woman of color and identify with liberal values. That being said, one of the hosts of this podcast is so hypercritical of the show - claiming inane things are racist so frequently that the concept has lost meaning. If we say literally everything is racist, that minimizes issues that actually ARE. For example, the host spent an absurd amount of time talking about America Ferrara’s choice to cut and dye her hair. According to this host, getting blond highlights is “whitewashing” her Latina heritage. So, by that logic, if any Latinx person chose to dye their hair a lighter color, they are “whitewashing” their culture away? The way she goes about calling everything out is very off putting. I understand there are critical issues that are systemic and need to change in our society, there are more productive and effective ways at bringing people in if she’s even trying to even do that. I cannot believe she’s a fan, given the sheer amount of stuff she says she can’t stand.
The other host seems mostly worried about disagreeing with her since she is quite hostile, so he’s relatively quiet or in 100% agreement with what she says (which are mostly negative comments/exaggerated observations).
Don’t listen to this podcast if you’re a fan of the show Superstore.”
