This is part 2 to episode 196.  This episode has D., T., and Ken with no guests.

We continue to discuss "White Man's Whore Twitter," how it compares to similarly goofy things like Donald Glover's raceplay joke from his Weirdo standup comedy special, and we also try to figure out why Shea Butter Blavity Intersectionality is overtaking South African discourse, and contrasting that to Nigeria's attitudes. We also discuss how white people without nonwhite people to subjugate will always end up fighting amongst each other and how Game of Thrones and the White Walkers are a great metaphor for that rather than for climate change. I make a mistake and say that Great Gatsby explicitly refers to The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy by Lothrop Stoddard. It actually uses a thinly veiled analogue of another book with the same thesis, The Passing of a Great Race by Madison Grant. It doesn't fundamentally affect the overall narrative in any way however.

Discussed in this episode:

I'm not sure if this was GRRM's intention, but I do know his basis for the wall is Hadrian's Wall in Great Britain and his narrative about the wall and what it was used for in the books is more in line with archaic interpretations of the purpose of Hadrian's Wall rooted in Renaissance Era rascism rather than the modern understanding of its purpose, which sees it as a means to regulate trade and immigration, not as a means of keeping the Barbarians out.

Speaking of that joke, I think Donald Glover changed (which you may have alluded to in a much earlier episode), or maybe he is deferential towards white women and not men. In his series Atlanta, he has an episode highlighting the awkwardness about a white DJ/radio host using the N word (with the a at the end) in a joke and how he wouldn't respond to that whereas he tests that in the presence of his friends and cousin just to see the white guy change the joke to exclude the N word portion and squirm a bit (basically, the white guy knows the character played by Glover won't clap back, but understands most blacks wouldn't respond well to it at all). The show generally incorporates lots of sort of anti-white and anti-blavity black sentiments throughout its writing (like the Juneteenth episode is a great highlight). The show d often uses surrealism and strange scenarios to satirize/critique contemporary racial dynamics and social culture.

Mongoloid is indeed a slur against people with down syndrome afaik
