Episode 15. I Feel Some Type of Way About Allison Williams: "Get Out" & Interracial Relationships

Summary: We watched Jordan Peele's revolutionary horror film "Get Out" and asked what, if any, message about interracial relationships we were supposed to draw from a horror flick about whiteness. How generalizable is the subtext about trust and authenticity? What lessons should we take from the inclusion of an Asian and Latino character in a film that otherwise draws black and white boundary lines between good and evil? Joe and Brie are joined by original SWOTI members Lyse and Chef for a particularly energetic conversation! For the last twenty minutes, Brie and Joe talk about their own interracial relationships. Brie discusses her own somewhat rare Asian Man/Black Woman pairing, and how dating a person of color differs from dating white men. Joe reflects on interracial dating in the context of a gay relationship, and unpacks anti-Asian prejudice within the community. The last twenty minutes of conversation also exists in video, so check us out on YouTube if you want to see our faces! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FY235wjGw0 Theme song: "Sorry" by Comfort Fit
