30 Rock takes on GA
OK, so short little follow up, but I just watched tonight's 30 Rock, and it dealt exactly with what we were talking about today! A pretty good episode, to boot.
Ha, it was and I think it dealt with a different kind of racism, one that is often masked by positivism and is the result of neo-liberalism -- we see this often employed by humanitarian or philanthropic businesses like Whole Foods and (Red) which position the poor as helpless (in need of "your" help) and in doing so further the power structure between socioeconomic classes.
