	Description:		In this episode, we discuss the phenomenon of whitewashing in pop culture, in particular highlighting the many instances of whitecasting and yellowface in Hollywood movies, such as the Karlie Kloss Vogue controversy, Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, and the problematic popularity of La La Land. We unpack what we mean when we talk about terms & topics such as whitewashing, whitecasting, the white savior complex, and yellowface. Whether we like it or not, pop culture is very important and highly influential, and what we see often determines how we see ourselves and others, and it is the responsibility of those in pop culture to tell better stories, make better characters, and show the future generation how diverse the world really is — and that their stories matter.
