In this episode, we discuss cultural appropriation. We explain when and why it is problematic, and highlight the differences with cultural appreciation. We support our discussions with examples as they can be found in the beauty, music or entertainment industries as well as more casual everyday examples. We give suggestions on how to show appreciation for a different culture without appropriating it.
