The State of California issued a formal Declaration of Regret for its discriminatory laws and practices against Chinese Americans, laws which remained on the books from the 1870s to the 1940s. The Chinese Exclusion Act restricted immigration and prevented Chinese immigrants from ever becoming US Citizens, including children of Chinese immigrants born in the USA. A clear violation of the 14th amendment, but too bad so sad! Your hosts with the most discuss legalized discrimination, White-America’s fears of Anglo-cultural displacement, and small town rumors of coronavirus infested toilet paper.

Bill Clinton – Sorry Not Sorry. Juliette and Theo consider whether a 22 year old intern and the President of the most powerful country on earth can ever have a consensual affair, or does the power imbalance get in the way of consent. With the help of radical feminism they walk through the Bill Clinton sex scandals and bow down in awe to the awesomeness that is present day Monica Lewinsky. Episode 1 gives birth to the show’s catchphrase 100%! with apologies for overuse and promises to tone it down in future episodes.
