Introduction

This episode is about the history and current use of a racial slore. You'll be hearing the word in its entirety at various points throughout the episode, so please proceed accordingly. We've tried to dissect words like yellow, brown, p o c and si by pa, no spoke. But jean, there's one word we have never touched: tear on coats. In part because it feels like there's nothing left to say about it, and in part because, well, should we even be saying it on the air?
