#D99 (descriptor to desert)
from The Dictionary
I read from descriptor to desert. The Jonathan Swift quote was probably from Gulliver's Travels, but I couldn't find it specifically. The word of the episode is "desegregation". As I VERY briefly mentioned in the episode, there are still places that are segregated in terms different groups of people living largely to themselves in areas/cities all over the country (the third link looks at that in depth). But technically, as a society, the United States is desegregated meaning that locations, water fountains, etc are for ALL people, as it should be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desegregation_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/national/segregation-us-cities/ Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
