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.

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!

This is a podcast run by 2 cousins that decided to record our conversations on racism and discrimination and share it with the world.  In this first episode, we discuss the textbook definition of racism, other related terms, and some of our personal experiences.   We take our education, background experiences, and memes and have meaningful conversations on topics surrounding racism. You think it. We say it. Because everything is racist! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eirpodcast/message
