3·2 个月前if you’re in the US and have too much time on your hands, the comments on this one need attention, cos PBS leave comments on then just don’t moderate them.
please do stop by in “new comments” mode and upvote the good top-level comments, downvote the bad, and report the racists and straight up Nazis.
the upvotes/downvotes determine the default “Top comments” view, and it takes multiple reports for any given racist
