Love listening to you as always.

Listened to the episode. You’re not from the US, so how are you considered an expert on American pop culture? Not accusing but confused. I’m sure you are an expert on Indian pop culture.

Wow, great polite public discourse

fifimcfae.swifties.social•65 days ago

racism and bigotry aren't polite either, weirdo. just because you said it nicely doesn't automatically make it nice.

What constitutes expertise in your opinion about *any* cultural commodity? Is it being tied to nationality in which case a great many writers in the US should not be writing about Squid Game and Hayao Miyazaki, or Han Kang... Very curious 🤔

IMHO Someone who has grown up here has more authority as a cultural commentator than someone who hasn’t, because they have much more experience with the culture. I agree that it’s great to get outside perspectives on American culture, but that’s not how this particular perspective was presented.

If you’re confused, go do some more reading and thinking before you direct questions like these at critics on a public website.

Do you ask this question to American critics reviewing Iranian films? Not accusing but confused.

eelabb.bsky.social•65 days ago

You weren’t reviewing the film as I understood it as a listener. When I listen to that program I understand the commentators to be experts in their field. Maybe that was not a correct understanding of who they invite to be guests on the program. If so, that’s my bad and I apologize.

No one ever used the word 'expert' in the episode. And maybe you should take your grievances to @npr.org
