      Episode 22: The Last Shibboleth
      Sep 29 2025

      No nation on earth fetishizes its military in the way the USA does.

      Do the lofty words of praise from US politicians match how veterans are treated?

      And if not, why not?

      In this episode of Before We Were White, we explore who actually fights America's wars.

      A simple question:

      Why have "poor white people" - aka Rednecks and Hillbillies - always been seen as legitimate targets for vicious mockery and public ridicule by "mainstream" American society?

      What connects The Mayflower with an iconic screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?

      And what connects the 1931 James Whale film Frankenstein with the 1956 Hollywood musical The King and I?

      Why do so many Americans show South Asian ancestry in DNA tests?

      And where exactly does John Wayne fit into all of this?

      Sometimes the real horror is the story behind the actors and storytellers...

      Before We Were White takes a mid-point break from our four part series on the history of Christianity in America - "New, Improved, and Super-Sanctified".

      Join us as we explore some of the darkness at the heart of Tinsel Town's Golden Era.
