Today I'm joined by the amazing Annabelle Schmitt (aka @a_nnabae on Instagram) and we're diving into the topic of cultural appropriation.
This may be a 'controversial topic' but, around here, we don't shy away from the 'controversial', because it helps us get to the REAL problems and alleviate social injustice.

We cover:
🔸What’s is cultural appropriation and why is it problematic?
🔸What’s orientalism and what’s so wrong with it?
🔸Why the Asian diaspora may feel differently about cultural appropriation than Asians grown up in their home country
🔸Why the common enemy is White supremacy
🔸The problem with “what about-ism”
🔸The one question to ask yourself in conversations about racism
🔸The difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation
🔸Why debating cultural appropriation doesn’t actually helpful
