“As a scientist, I certainly appreciate the evidence-based intention behind this podcast, and the effort it takes to break research down in a way that can be discussed on a podcast.
However, I listened to several episodes where the hosts seem to minimize experiences and perspectives of maligned populations. As an underrepresented minority who has seen the reality of gender pay parity, microaggressions, and fear by parents of color that their coming of age children may fall victim to rampant police brutality, I felt that these hosts have major sociocultural blind spots (as far as diversity and inclusion goes), and no ground to dispute other people’s experiences. In these particular topics, I would respect these hosts more if they owned their privilege (like many other respectable professionals of their ilk), and brought in colleagues from relevant ethnic or cultural backgrounds who research such topics empirically and without personal biases.”
