This 🧵 is about the film #CodedBias and its director @shalinikantayya. It's a painful and poignant thread for me because I am friends with so many of the scholars who are centred in this film, and respect their work enormously. Yet (and therefore) I cannot stay silent. (1/n) The crux: the cognitive dissonances at the heart of the director’s problematic association with the @hinduamerican foundation and how it impacts the film's message. I hope @jovialjoy @timnitgebru @safiyanoble @poptechworks and others understand why+how this affects us all. (2/n)
