Token Podcast: is yellowface always racist? And does it matter that Jesus wasn't white?

from The Guardian's Token · host The Guardian

Monica Tan and Michael Safi jump into the divide between racism and political correctness to assess the most interesting news of the week. Can actors and comedians play characters of different races or is it always offensive? Should we remove racist words from old artworks? And why might Michael look more like Jesus than many renaissance paintings?
