Why Does Race Swapping Make Us Uncomfortable? | IMO Ep.119

Update: 2022-10-18

Description

There has been controversy surrounding the newly announced "Velma" by Mindy Kaling, a spin-off from Scooby Doo which changed a few key points of the original show, such as the races of 3/4 of the main characters. This is not the first time a show got flak for race swapping, but why exactly do we feel so averse to this "trend"? In this episode of IMO, we discuss our thoughts on race swapping, and explore why the Internet has responded so strongly against them.
