Addicted to Race 123: Latino in America, Halloween, Chinese adoptees, racist kid
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
Addicted to Race is our weekly talk show podcast about all things race. Here’s a rundown of what you’ll find in this episode:
Did CNN’s documentary series “Latino in America” break new ground? Or did it simply reaffirm existing stereotypes? Why do so many people use Halloween as an opportunity to dress up as someone of a different race or ethnicity? Are the so-called “homeland tours” — in which countries like China and Korea invite adoptees to visit their birthplaces — simply public relations exercises for those countries? We all have ways of responding when someone makes racist comments. But what do you do when that person is your partner’s child? Carmen Van Kerckhove, Tami Winfrey Harris, and Arturo Garcia discuss.
Addicted to Race is broadcast live every Sunday afternoon at 12 pm Eastern. You can listen live on our BlogTalkRadio page and call in by dialing 347-996-3958.

I realize this blog is predominantly about race,so I am sorry if this is/or seems derailing. Just heard the mention of how some people who are catholic find the pregnant Nun costume offensive and it made me think about how it can be offensive to Wiccans. How witches are portrayed as green, evil, and “other”.
