Race, sexual orientation play a big role in WNBA star Brittney Griner'''s arrest in Russia, scholar says | The World from PRX
She knows what she is talking about.
Quote:
Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon, a historian and a doctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, focuses specifically on race and Blackness in the former USSR and GDR.
She's been following Griner's case closely and joined The World's host Marco Werman to discuss Griner's situation.
She says that Russia has a long history of making "examples" of Americans like Griner who get detained in the country, often on "incredible, trumped-up charges."
