Mixed-Race in Science Fiction Movies<\/em>\u2014Eric Hamako\u2019s presentation on mixed-race people in science fiction movies and the media. Popular movies are telling stories about Mixed-Race, but what are they saying? Will vigorous hybrid messiahs herald racial salvation? Will degenerate hybrid monsters cause a racial apocalypse? Are you prepared to talk about and talk back to the movies that students love? We\u2019ll explore White Supremacist and Christian Supremacist ideas about mixed-race people prevalent in current science fiction movies like <em>Harry Potter<\/em>, <em>Blade<\/em>, and <em>Underworld<\/em> and why people shouldn\u2019t believe the hype\u2026 or the hate.<\/p>\n<p>This event is free and open to the public.
