Cardi B recently received a lot of backlash for her Reebok campaign with her appearing as a Hindu goddess. The rapper apologized for the appropriation. Pavitra and Anouska talk about Cardi B's apology, common cultural appropriation of Indian religion, and how companies rarely own up to their offensive marketing ideas, very often letting pop culture icons take the fall.
