Has Gruber yet opened up The Talk Show to more diverse voices from women or people of color?

I stopped reading and listening to John after he made a racist quip "You're folding it wong." against Ray Wong in February 2021. https://twitter.com/gruber/status/1229815856768614401?s=20

I'm also surprised by ticket cost, but respect that he offers a lower tier for anyone who feels that they needed it.

“@raywongy I am truly sorry Ray. Removed that line from the text, changed the URL slug, and all requests to the old slug should redirect to new. I should have known better, will do better, and look forward to your continuing work at Input.”

@nonrevguy @panzer I am not trying to offend, really trying to learn - i’m from sweden. How is this racist? To me he’s making a name-joke about Steves famous antennagate scandal. because Wong rhymes with wrong?

@nonrevguy @panzer Ok. That does not make it racist, it makes it offensive to that person.

@2happy1sad @panzer Thanks for your perspective. As an Asian person, I was also offended, but I am sure there are other Asians who may not have been offended. Hopefully in this existence, we can all be empathetic toward others and try to enjoy life peacefully.

@nonrevguy @panzer Yes. i was asking because i thought there might be some language-context i didn’t understand. But if it just is the name i don’t think it’s racist - however a joke in bad taste. He did apologize properly and remove it at least. have a great day!
