Are you easily confused by terms like cultural appropriation, cisgender, toxic masculinity, twunk, queer, black girl magic, and woke? Or maybe you’re tired of explaining terms like these and you need a community that gets you! Welcome to Minority Korner, where we take an introspective look at the world. through an intersectional lens. Join James: a queer, political, comedian, self proclaimed, sexy blerd (that’s Black Nerd) and each week he's joined in the Korner by another fabulous minority tackling pop culture, the news, media, and history all with a little self care, and self love sprinkled throughout! It’s time to Learn, Laugh, and Play, right here at Minority Korner- because together: we’re the majority! (Part of the Maximum Fun Network)

episode 303: EP303: Gaylords Gotta Do, What A Gaylords Gotta Do (Little Mix, Yasuke: Black Samurai, Black Superman, LaKeith Stanfield, Anti-Semitism, Dunning Kruger Effect)
James Arthur M. and Guest Co-Host MacKenzie Green try to get to the bottom of why best girl group of the last decade, Little Mix, hasn't taken off in the US yet!? Plus highly melanated member of the group Leigh-Anne Pinnock just released her groundbreaking documentary ‘Race, Power, and Pop’ exploring racism in the UK and in the music industry. As if we needed more reason to extra cancel once beloved Joss Whedon, Gal Gaddot has spilled some Tea, and is the news of a Black Superman written by Ta-Nehisi Coates just a distraction from the mishandling and treatment of Ray Fisher/Cyborg? And Lakeith Stanfield accidentally found himself moderating an anti-semetic room in Clubhouse- ruh roh. In the main Korner, continuing our celebration of API Heritage we explore Asian and Black intersection in Black Samurai Yasuke, which a new Netflix Anime is based on. Also were some Samauri gay? Then MacKenzie takes us home in her TED like Talk letting us know and giving us permission that it’s okay to not know anything.
