The Kind of Caucasian You Aren't: Episode 51 (the United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind)

Season 4, Episode 51,   May 02, 2022, 10:00 AM

In this episode we are sipping on a “delicately pink” cocktail–the Clover Club! This frothy, elegantly tart concoction popularized in the 1920s features raspberry syrup and ties into the era of STEPHANIE’s scandal. Cheers to Sharon–our latest Patreon supporter!

STEPHANIE’s scandal is the 1923 Supreme Court case of the United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind—this was a legal battle in which a high caste Punjabi man fought to gain American citizenship through his proximity to whiteness. We 🥂 to continuing to dismantle the myth of the model minority because it only reinforces white supremacy.

ALSO MENTIONED: The G(host) train, global majority, Walden, ‘dusky” peril, TR, Trulia, maps, Wong Kim Ark (Episode 17), Well, That’s Interesting podcast, trapdoor, pseudoscience, the ‘ol “come on” defense, Oktoberfest, handsome skulls, Kimmy Schmidt, bing bong, Target, seasoning, accents, trauma being good for conformity and likah.
