Cultural Compromise, Cultural Appropriation, and Cultural Erasure
Episode description
Happy 2023! In this first episode of the year, Jack and Mike discuss three themes: cultural compromise, cultural appropriation, and cultural erasure.
Cultural Compromise: They debate host Jerrod Carmichael's decision to sell out his morals and values for money and isn't that all of us?
"How much does it cost to sell your moral principles? Because that's what Carmichael did and the number was $500,000." - Jack Rico
Cultural Appropriation: They then discuss Gwen Stefani saying "I'm Japanese" and doubling down on it.
"Stefani got roasted by Asian Press. These Japanese women bowing to her and, there are all these images you could call white supremacy." - Mike Sargent
Cultural Erasure: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee banning the term "Latinx" and whether it's important or not.
"It's a joke law. It's not gonna hold Mike. So that's why I particularly don't take this seriously. And I don't think it's gonna go anywhere." - Jack Rico
