Welcome back to But What Do We Know! For this week's episode, we're catching up regarding high school graduation for Daniel's seniors and Zoe's 9-5 chronicles along with her fear of cicadas. We also dive into cultural appropriation and ask ourselves, where do we draw the line? How do we know the difference between cultural appreciation and appropriation? We talk about things like cornrows, the notorious Pepsi commercial and Rachel Dolezal as we try to navigate how we call out appropriation when we see it. We acknowledge that we can only speak from our own perspective, so we mention our friends and peers from different backgrounds that have questions and internal battles regarding this topic as well. We're inviting you to chat with us and let us know your thoughts on cultural appropriation - where do you draw the line? We're excited to hear from you!
