Hello from a Cessna!\\xa0

This week, it\\u2019s just us, on a grab-bag anthropological journey. [2:55] First, Jay unpacks his recent trip to Martha\\u2019s Vineyard and what he learned about the academic elite on a panel about affirmative action. [23:35] Next, we discuss Season 4 of \\u201cLove After Divorce\\u201d, in which Korean-American divorcees shack up and speak subpar Korean. [42:30] Then we catch up on the sad saga of former NFL player Michael Oher, who has claimed that the film purportedly based on his life, \\u201cThe Blind Side,\\u201d misrepresented his story and unethically enriched his white "adoptive" family. [55:10] Last, we talk about the U.S. soldier who crossed into North Korea, allegedly because he was \\u201cdisillusioned at the unequal American society,\\u201d and the trilateral summit at Camp David.\\xa0\\xa0

On this episode, we ask:\\xa0

Is it wrong to eliminate legacy admissions just as Black students and other students of color stand to benefit?\\xa0

Are people becoming more tolerant of gyopos and their (our) broken Korean?!\\xa0

Will the Michael Oher claims force writers to be more critical of savior stories?\\xa0

What do we make of the U.S. perspective on Asia as a theater of war and deterrence?\\xa0
