Selective Activism and Medical Racism

This week we talk about TWO different topics!! First we talk about selective activism and the way people weaponise their marginalised status to justify political inaction. 

Then we talk about medical racism in Australia, specifically discussing the recent tragic death of Aishwarya Aswath and the way our attitudes have changed regarding front-line workers post-pandemic.
