Author and journalist Vijay Prashad returns to Bad Faith initially to discuss Venezuela but gets sidetracked by Briahna's frustration with several media happenings from last week: the Compact article "The Lost Generation" arguing that white millennial men have faced discrimination as a consequence of DEI, and Vivek Ramaswamy's New York Times op/ed that attempts to pull the GOP back from its descent into open racism, which often manifests in the use of anti-Indian slurs against Ramaswamy and Second Lady Usha Vance. The two do get to Venezuela eventually, but life is about the journey.
