Following the false allegations against the Haitian immigrants in
Springfield, Ohio, the city received over 30 bomb threats, saw
school closures and even the cancellation of a celebration for
diversity in arts and culture. Host Brittany Luse talks to NPR
Immigration correspondent Jasmine Garsd about what she's learned
from her reporting in the region and how all this could tie into a
larger Midwest identity crisis.

Then, Brittany is joined by Danzy Senna, author of Colored
Television, to talk about how she's seen biracial representation
change over the last three decades, and what it means to be in the
"Not Like Us" era. They dig into her latest novel and its
perspective on racial profiteering.
