Ep. 427: Real Culture Can't Be Stolen, Pt. 1

Jess and Teen go deep yet again on "cultural appropriation" and why there can be no meaningful understanding about culture, art and theft so long as this bogus idea frames the discussion. Current events touched upon include the difference in opinion between Asian Americans and native Asians over Gwen Stefani-san's Japanese DNA, and Rick Rubin's laissez faire attitude towards musical influence and borrowing.
