Ep. 27: Schneiderman, Trump, and Weinstein are the White Male Centipede

A couple of weeks ago, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was brought down by the fact that he was a disgusting and abusive scumbag to women, all the while presenting himself as a progressive feminist champion. In the #MeToo era, this kind of hypocrisy is no longer surprising. Along with Trump and Weinstein, Schneiderman is the latest mortal wound to the idea of white benevolence, especially white male benevolence. Teen, Oxford, and Mark talk about how this has freed Asian Americans to develop our own unique political and cultural viewpoints.
