Because I Said So--S3E15: Implicit Racism and ”The Book of Mormon”

In this episode, Allie and I are back to discuss the Broadway play “The Book of Mormon” and the boundaries it crosses with satire, specifically related to race. We analyze the play as a vehicle for validation of implicit biases and caricatures, and we also touch on ways the play has been received parallel to certain comedy specials where “comedic value” can serve as a protection against the critical lens. We hope you enjoy!
