Hey there saints and sinners. This week, Avery and Juanita tackle RuPaul’s incessant desire to depoliticize the contestants - primarily to Black and other contestants of color. Is he trying to keep the show “family-friendly” or is he trying to appease the majority white fandom? Our hosts discuss this week.
