“I really wanted to like this podcast, but the women are completely tone-deaf and/or use microagressions when talking about race or about the Black cast members. It became too difficult and cringy to listen to them.

Complimenting the "best of both worlds" can underhandedly refer to muting traits associated with other ethnicities and the pronouncement of traits more aligned with white-passing.
