Welcome back to Race Invaders, the show with 100% more Korean beefcake thanks to your generous support. Today, we&#8217;re talking about media representation, why it matters, and how it can hurt to lack it. Also, Tim has a bone to pick with Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson, and Alok thinks the wrong West Virginian police officer got fired.
