CS 172: Let Game of Thrones be White Pt. 1 feat. Oxford Kondo (@oxford_kondo) (05/05/2019)
Summary: <br> <br> Today we welcome Oxford Kondo (<a href="http://twitter.com/oxford_kondo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://twitter.com/oxford_kondo</a>) to discuss whether it's racist for Game of Thrones to be so white, and on the flipside the trend of casting minorities to play white characters, including racebending (changing traditionally white characters to black, or even using nonwhite actors to play white historical figures in biopics).
