Welcome back to But What Do We Know! This week, Zoe introduces us to her cats as Daniel wonders why Uber prices in NYC have risen exponentially lately. The pair dive into the topic of discussion, whitewashing, and break down this phenomenon when it comes to cultural foods, pop culture, and relationships/identity. For example, Zoe talks about how whitewashing cultural foods can be damaging to minority cultures. Daniel encourages us to think about the role that Hollywood plays in whitewashing historical events. As usual, the duo has many laughs in-between as they unpack the many layers of Whitewashing and how it can be seen in our everyday lives. We would love to know what your take is on this issue, so be sure to let us know by leaving us a review on Apple podcasts or chatting with us on IG!
