Today, Connie and Jenny focus their conversations around the topic of Western companies making profit off of foreign cultures. Many cultures have failed to gain reputations for having reputable and respectable businesses in Western countries since the beginning of globalization and mass immigration. Meanwhile, Western entrepreneurs have repeatedly stumbled upon excellent business ideas embedded in outside cultures, and have take opportunities to build businesses profiting off of what the cultural groups themselves struggle to make a living wage from.
In this episode, we speak about certain companies and products that have been publicly labelled with these appropriating behaviours. Connie and Jenny also reflect on whether each instance deserved the call-out, and if so, why the cultures have the right to feel exploited and taken advantage of.
