Episode #11 - Wry Mantione, Rucka, Renting to People of Color, Metroid 2 Remake, Water Park Decapitation

Is it discrimination if students ask for only non-white roommates, or should it be allowed? Or maybe it's discrimination and it should still be allowed. A student from Claremont Colleges in California recently did just that, looking to create a "safe space" inside her home: I debate the merits of this claim with this week's guest, director of marketing from Full Moon Entertainment, and alternate-lifestyle evangelist, Wry. Full Moon Entertainment, if you'll recall, is the company behind my masterpiece film debut, Ooga Booga. Also, here is a quick survey to help out the show: http://survey.libsyn.com/madcastmedia I received a metric shit-ton of voicemail at the top of the show, thanks in no small part to Rucka's various shenanigans about minutes that are allegedly Armenian. Though there's a silver lining: we're receiving a lot more calls from Sean's old Italian in-laws. The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853). madcastmedia.com Sources Washington Post - Debate flares after black college students seek a non-white roommate - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/08/11/debate-flares-after-black-college-students-seek-a-non-white-roommate/ Nolo.com - Federal Fair Housing act of 1968 - https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/renters-rights-book/chapter5-2.html Daily Mail - College denounces black students non-white roommate request - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3736026/College-denounces-black-students-non-white-roommate-request.html NY Daily News - Uproar at Claremont Colleges (video) - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/request-non-white-roommates-sparks-uproar-calif-colleges-article-1.2750738 PC Gamer - Nintendo issues DMCA notice against Metroid II remake, project AM2R - http://www.pcgamer.com/nintendo-issues-dmca-notice-against-that-really-good-metroid-ii-fan-remake/ Gazette.com - Boy decapitated on waterslide at Kansas Park - http://gazette.com/source-boy-was-decapitated-on-waterslide-at-kansas-park/article/1582407 "Mining by Moonlight" and "Music to Delight" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
