His powerful stand highlighted how difficult it can be to raise cultural issues, even in professional settings. Liu faced resistance—dismissal and deflection—just like many employees do when speaking up about cultural appropriation at work. What does this have to do with the workplace?

"Companies that are mindful of cultural appropriation can build trust with diverse communities and create products or campaigns that are both successful and ethical. By tackling these issues, we ensure that cultural representation is done with care, respect, and consideration." Very interesting 3 minute read.

Let me know what you hear! Jenifer provides some helpful nuance!
The diversity within the Asian American community is often overlooked. There's a misconception that all Asian Americans have similar experiences or backgrounds, and that all Asians have "made it" in America. For those of us that don’t fully understand the Asian American experience, what can we learn about the diversity of what it means to be Asian American in this country? How can we all be better partners and co-creators in making a wider table for our sisters, brothers, and relatives living within the Asian American experience? Listen to Jenifer Chao unpack this question and watch the full conversation with Ben McBride at https://lnkd.in/g3AccE9Y

Isn't this what you would call propaganda if it was China or Russia? "A shared, positive national story, even if it is slightly idealised and not fully up to the standards of a peer-reviewed history journal, has its benefits. It can improve social cohesion, contributing to a sense of togetherness. A society which is at ease with itself, and which celebrates itself, is probably also better at integrating newcomers than a society which celebrates performative collective self-loathing." https://lnkd.in/eQc3yG9X

It sort of goes without saying that this is a sensitive topic, in of itself. But I'd like to point out that the real meat of the man's lecture comes in the header of the article: "You must also have opportunities to have people interact more intensively and not necessarily discussing these kinds of subjects but interacting with each other and becoming comfortable knowing each other’s values, and perspectives, and therefore after that I can come and talk about more difficult subjects.” In other words, places like social media, where I literally have little to no control over who gets to see my words--much less interact with them and know their values before the discussion--are the worst places possible in which to have these conversations. And yet, here we are, trying to get clicks and eyeballs, discussing how people are "overly sensitive" on discussing sensitive topics. I think that most people are fine discussing these sensitive topics in person, around a table, where the usual norms of personal engagement kick in. Half the things we say to each other on social media would *never* be uttered in person. (The other half? Yeah, probably not either.) People are sensitive on these topics because they have good reason to be sensitive on these topics. If you can't accept that as axiomatic, then don't have the conversation. And if you can, don't discuss it on social media. Peace, out.

Being overly sensitive. I absolutely agree with SM Lee. Can we wind the clock back some 5 years or a decade or two even, when people could discuss sensitive topics like race in the open & rationally like adults? Such issues often aren't binary 1 or 0 or have clear black & white. It helps that all sides suspend judgement, listen and then work with each other to clarify individual standpoint, dispel misconceptions/assumptions and work out mutually acceptable outcomes. Too often these days are we seeing situations globally where the starting point is "U are 120% wrong and I am 150% correct". There is no discussion thereafter. IMHO, not helpful at all. https://lnkd.in/g3b7s4eG

? The Decline of Political Trust in Culture: Where Did It Go Wrong? This article, based on one of the chapters of the State of Culture report commissioned by Culture Action Europe and authored by Elena Polivtseva offers three possible explanations: ?? The endless state of crisis that has narrowed the scope of policy solutions ?? A policy landscape that values calculation over imagination ??

Do we still have trust in culture? As crises dominate agendas, culture is losing its momentum, at least in many of political stages. Elena Polivtseva's latest article, part of one of the chapters of the Culture Action Europe 'State of Culture 2024' report, uncovers some of the reasons that might be hiding behind this sidelining. How can we use this understanding to rethink cultural policy? While I personally believe that culture can and should be helpful in addressing the problems facing the world today, how can we bring the trust back to help us do it together and reimagine the futures?
