What is cultural appropriation? When does cultural influence/appreciation cross the line into appropriation?
In this episode of Deeper Than Color, hosts Chris Gee, Ayat Shukairy, and Karen Amundson and guest Sonia Thompson grappled with this topic as they don't exactly agree with one another 100% of the time. In addition to sharing their viewpoint on what cultural appropriation is, our hosts and guests discuss why it's so problematic, who gets to decide when there is cultural appropriation, and which elements, if any, of our culture should we celebrate going mainstream.
