The latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau might create the impression that America just became more diverse, but we may have been that way all along. We’ll break down some of the census numbers. Also, guest host Meghan McCarty Carino, who’s feeling a little less hollowed out today, discusses what we can learn from Native Americans’ high COVID-19 vaccination rates. Then, the hosts get all smiley and talk about LeVar Burton’s future post-“Jeopardy!” and what happened when a celebrity spotted a bear inside a grocery store.
Here’s everything we talked about:
- “2020 Census Statistics Highlight Local Population Changes and Nation’s Racial and Ethnic Diversity” from the U.S. Census Bureau
- “LGBT Community Harder Hit by Economic Impact of the Pandemic” from the U.S. Census Bureau
- “Despite obstacles, Native Americans have the nation’s highest COVID-19 vaccination rate” from The Los Angeles Times
- “Ava DuVernay Wants to Create a Show for LeVar Burton After His ‘Jeopardy!’ Heartbreak” from TV Insider
- “Tisha Campbell Encounters Wild Bear Inside California Supermarket – and Has Video to Prove It!” from People
