We are joined by special guest Hena as we dive into the world of politics and nerddom. We discuss the recent decision to change the name of the Red Skins football team. We talk about how it took corporate pressure before the decision was made. We link this to high school name changes and our experience in school with plantations and missions. We ponder the hypocrisy of corporations making superficial changes while maintaining structures of inequality. We then dive into the recent popularity of Avatar the Last Airbender discussing how some people have made it into the new Harry Potter by over identifying with it, or using it as a lens to understand the world.
