E12: Colorism in Latin America and Gina Rodriguez’s problem with black people

Original published date: October 20th 2019 A few days ago the actress Gina Rodriguez said the n-word in a video, and soon after she published a let’s say very clumsy non apology. This is not the first time that the actress has said something controversial against black people in the United States. In this episode I will talk about colorism in Latin America, where it comes from, and how present it is in Latin America. In the anti nihilism section the amazing Peruvian artist Rossana Mercado and the Chilean activist Maria Basura.
