Lionel presents challenging hypotheticals designed to teach listeners "how to think". Lionel dives headfirst into sensitive questions about preference, race, and freedom of expression: Would you prefer white Australians or Nigerians move into your state, and does your answer make you a racist? Explore the definitions of "racist," "xenophobe," and "far right" terms like "groper".Lionel debates whether holding "reprehensible" ideas or hating groups based on ethnicity or class is acceptable under the First Amendment, provided no action is taken.

Lionel asserts that everyone is a person of preferences, not necessarily because they are racist, but because they are human.
