Thank you for inviting Dr. Oxalis Jusino to your podcast. I thought it was very interesting. I would have liked that you had done a bit more research prior to inviting her to the podcast. It is actually really offending for Puerto Ricans to be asked if they use the US dollar. I also thought you might have been bias as to the degree of training and integrity people have. Like asking if people police themselves well. Puerto Ricans are known for the value they place on education and the quality of training and service they provide. I am glad you are giving her the space to discuss these important issues but it is important to be aware of our own biases when we conduct interviews with people from other cultures.

Thanks so much for bringing these issues to my attention! Some of the questions were admittedly naive and uninformed on my part. Your message also prompted me to check in with Dr. Jusino and have some more discussion about these ideas. I really appreciate your thoughts!
