I just did a study on this topic, asking people with underrepresented identities to recall the first time they saw those identities represented onscreen. Lots of "don't laugh" moments like yours.

Hakeem Jefferson does great measurement work. I assigned 2 of his papers for my survey research seminar. One presents a new scale of respectability politics (relevant to his post below). I strongly recommend his work for showing students how to reason through the development and testing of measures

Facts. You can't practice reciprocity with people who think reciprocity is for suckers.

I use "narrative" broadly; propaganda is one type of narrative (and a powerful one)

Forced sterilization of disabled people isn't a relic of the past In most states, eugenics laws still let doctors sterilize disabled patients—even against their will.

Good on you, North Carolina

"What this country needs most, more than laws and political programs, is a few courageous, tireless, devoted leaders in whom the people can put their faith"

Red states have a lot to lose from NIH funding cuts. Their leaders are worried Universities and research institutions rely on federal dollars from the NIH. But don’t expect Republicans to cross Elon Musk

Ye Advertised Website Selling T-Shirts With Swastikas in Super Bowl Commercial The commercial aired in some local markets several days after the rapper and designer called himself a Nazi in a series of social media posts.

One autistic celebrity gives the Nazi salute and another sells a t-shirt with a swastika on it. The fact that they're trying to hide behind autism is repugnant. Nobody has a Nazi salute as a gross-motor tic. Nobody markets clothes with swastikas by accident. They know what they're doing.
