Today's episode (the first in a while) is from an American Academy of Pediatrics Position Statement titled "The Impact of Racism on Child and Adolescent Health." This was written by Dr. Maria Trent, Dr. Danielle Dooley, and Dr. Jacqueline Douge in August 2019. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/144/2/e20191765.full.pdf
This episode discusses racism as a social determinant of health, history of race in the US, the types of racism, how it effects education, and some recommendations by the authors.
If you manage to get through the whole episode, there are a few jokes at the end - by the Upper Peninsula Bureau for Active Recreation and Fun, a (fictitious) organization that attempts to get folks to visit the UP. It was performed in an accent that I hope to someday obtain when I retire in God's Gift to Michigan, the Upper Peninsula.
