Who gets to own Mexican culture?

Where cultural appropriation, AI, and Obama's tan suit clash.

Culture is a massive subject and in a world where globalisation is being questioned and challenged, how do Mexicans assert their ownership over their own culture and how do they share it with the world?

In this episode of Mexico: The Podcast, Tavo and Alex ask who gets to wear Mexican clothes but also why people might get offended when you stick to your own traditional garb.
