    Sociology of the P. Diddy Trial “Mulatas,” “Homophobia,” and Socialization of Potential Targets

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Chi discusses the trial of P. Diddy, billionaire music producer and businessman, who was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. Rather than thinking of him specifically, she discusses issues surrounding the socialization of women into the “freak offs.” Listen to discussions of colorism, homophobia, and love-bombing. For more on ideas of mixed-race (mulata) women in the United States and Brazil check out Dr. Jasmine Mitchell’s Imagining the Mulatta: Blackness in U.S. and Brazilian Media, Dr. Patricia Hill Collins’ Black Feminist Thought: Controlling Images and Chinyere Osuji’s Boundaries of Love: Interracial Marriage and the Meaning of Race Produced by: Genete Demessew and Dr. Chi Music Credit: Candy Stars by Space Doves

    Frogs before the Pot Boils

    Kat Turner is one of my Kdrama besties. We discussed her experiences being in South Korea during the impeachment procedures there as well as what we in the United States can learn from how South Koreans fight authoritarianism. We discussed the Gwangju Uprising in 1980 in which scores of Koreans were attached and killed by national police in their fight for democracy. We recorded this before the protests against ICE and the "No King" protests of June 2025.
