In this episode we start to delve into the world of colorism ...

6:53...define colorism and look at the history,

11:37...take a global view of colorism (of course with a heavy comparison to colorism in the US),

22:56...talk about our own experiences with colorism,

35:44...ponder steps to overcoming colorism, discuss our issues with "colorblindism," and Dani rants about the race as a social construct,

50:23...have a mini rant about colorism in the Lion King,

52:44...our happy places! Including a slightly longer geek out about some pop culture.
