Ep.31 - Multiculturalism = Knowledge
On this episode of "What's Good?": The mass protests in Hong Kong, Caster Semenya speaks on the IAAF, what the Toronto Raptors' Championship says about the NBA's future & "All-Male" writing rooms at ITV are no more.
In a week where:
- Tory leadership ballot is down to four, Boris Johnson still (somehow) the front-runner.
- The legendary Paul Crowther who milkshaked Farage has pleaded guilty for common assault and has to pay Farage's suit cleaning bill.
- Arctic permafrost in the Canadian Arctic is thawing 70 years sooner than predicted.
- Donald Trump still thinks the CP5 did it.
- 3 Russians & 1 Ukrainian are charged with shooting down MH17.
- Homophobic and transphobic hate crimes surge in England and Wales.
In the first of two Sports segments, (9:18) the NBA 2018-19 season is over. Toronto are the champions, much to my chagrin. But I decided to look at it from a broader lens and when you change the angle, you realise that this is great for the NBA in the long run.
For the Life segment, (23:05) Hong Kong is currently butting heads with China, resulting in arrests and mass protests 2 Million strong. It's a sight to behold but why exactly are the protests going down? Rest assured, it's looking like a "Big Bank take Little Bank" situation.
For the 2nd Sports segment, (33:50) you may remember that I talked about the BS ruling that the IAAF gave on Caster Semenya a few weeks ago. After getting the ruling suspended temporarily, Semenya has continued racing and has spoken on wax about it all.
And for the Film/TV segment (43:32) the Head of ITV Comedy has abolished "All-Male" writing rooms in the effort to bring more female pens. You may see this as PC culture, but it's statistically logical to have more diversity, not just in the writing, but also in casting and directing.
Multiculturalism = knowledge.
