Episode Description

In this episode, we discuss nerd and geek culture and where BIPOC people fit into it.

Hike up your pants and find your favorite pair of suspenders, we’er talking all things nerdy at Biracial Unicorns. Today we’re taking our love of geek/nerd culture (traditionally saved for our “mini-sodes”) and breaking it down through the filter of race and gender. We want to give a special shout out to Circle Of Nerds podcast who have been one of our first supporters of our show. In this episode you’ll hear…

  • Our definition of geek and nerd
  • How we think the definition of geek and nerd has evolved
  • The mentioning of the book, Black Nerd Problems by William Evans and Omar Holman
  • Ask the question, does geek/nerd culture really exist anymore?
  • Female representation in geek/nerd culture
  • BIPOC representation in geek/nerd culture
  • Gatekeeping of fandom
  • “Wokeness” within fandom culture and it’s reception
  • How the future of geek and nerd culture is Brown/Black
  • The “Brown and Black Dollar”
  • Fiction as escapism for BIPOC people, or is it?

We wrap up the show with a very impromptu ( and incomplete list) of some of our favorite nerd topics and of course our HAPPY PLACE, hint*- don’t be surprise, it’s food relate
