Ep 10: Are we all racists?

Sam Pitroda waded into controversy a few days back with his comments on the physical resemblance the people of India have to Africans, Arabs, Chinese and Europeans. Tony and Nitin dive into the complex manner in which we process, react to and practice (yes, we all do!) racism. What makes human beings innately racist? Is it our animal instinct, or is it just human nature? Why do we break into accents when we speak to Westerners? How do we reckon with the strange relationship between race and 'races', ie sporting excellence? Join us as we talk about the N word, the origins of slavery, "why we all look the same to you", Zionism, anti-Semitism, and why they aren't necessarily the opposite of each other... And a lot more. If we have said some stuff here that's wrong, before cancelling us, please let us know in the comments. Oh, and do watch Premalu. And Aavesham. And any Malayalam film you can find.
