and racebending

This week Mixed DNA looks into the relatively new term "racebending", which generally refers to altering the race in forms of pop media like TV series or comics. We'll touch on whitewashing and blackwashing and provide examples from today's pop culture for context; like the upcoming Peter & Wendy movie starring Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell or the upcoming Little Mermaid movies starring Halle Bailey as Ariel. ---------- Visit www.mixeddna.ca for all our past episodes, and reference links for articles and sites that helped us with content.
