“Whether indifferent or idealistic, the reactions that racial satire elicit say as much about the moment, about power—the unfinished project of anti-racism—as they do about the fiction that is a life unburdened by race.” Anna Storti on “The White Lotus”:

“If satire mobilizes critique through emotion, to what extent does the genre fail when the subject is racist fantasy?” New at PB: @storti.bsky.social revisits the reactions to Frank’s (Sam Rockwell) season 3 monologue about sexual desire in “The White Lotus.”

Racial profiling by immigration agents isn’t new. It echoes one of the darkest chapters in U.S. history, with clear parallels between today’s targeting of Latino communities and the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Racial profiling by ICE agents mirrors the targeting of Japanese Americans during World War II
Asian Americans have drawn parallels between today’s attacks on Latinos and a historically exclusive immigration policy that favors some families over others.

@storti.bsky.social writes in @us.theconversation.com, we've seen this before. "The fiction that undergirds the U.S. immigration system: that immigration policy’s preference for certain immigrants is enough to justify the discriminatory policies which deem some families more valuable than others."
