Boy Meets The Black Weeaboo Problem (And Why It's Not Actually a Problem)

Tray opens the show with a public apology, then asks the question his New York friends keep asking him: why are Black people, specifically, increasingly showing up in East Asian fandom? Is it escapism? Aesthetic overlap? Something deeper? This episode goes long on the cultural history, the parallel structures, and the personal honest answer Tray had to sit with for a while before he could say out loud.
