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 339: MK339: Rock Climbing While Black (Affirmative Action Case, Whoopi Goldberg, More Joe Rogen, Euphoria, Anime)
Affirmative Action could be struck down this year by the supreme court in a case where conservatives have found the perfect defendant to prove it’s unnecessary (though we know it is). We give our 2 cents on Whoopi Goldberg’s comments about the holocaust, her apology, and her two week suspension from The View. Is this a double standard when Joe Rogen is still able to rage on? Plus Emerald dishes on rock climbing while black, her experiences watching Euphoria, and the anime shows that have caught her eye.
