In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, I tackle the contentious topic of cultural appropriation. I unpack what it claims to be, how it’s often misunderstood, and why I believe much of the outrage is overblown. From viral online controversies to historical examples like Jim Crow caricatures, I explore how culture, identity, and offense collide in today’s hyper-sensitive society.

I ask tough questions: Is cultural appropriation a legitimate critique or a manufactured grievance? And how should freedom of expression navigate this complicated landscape? I break it down with nuance, challenging mainstream narratives and arguing for thoughtful discussion over performative outrage.
