Because it's just too dense of a topic.

No, it's not about that.

I mean, certainly it could be, but we live in a world where there's so much information at your fingertips.

And he sort of smacks me down being like, you're an idiot, right?

Like, America is about cultural appropriation when it's done, like, very well, if that makes any sense.
