I hate this show so much. In a crowded field of othering, it is one of the worst offenders. THANK YOU Jacinta for writing about it. I have been waiting for someone to address this form of entertainment which exploits as much as it is possible to exploit, the complete helplessness of people at border control. I am white and privileged but recently experienced a horrific body search at Houston performed in public (because fuck knows what they would have done in private) that went far beyond what they tell you is going to happen.

Christ knows what they might have done had I not known or understood English or was not white.
